Pursuing Love: A 15 Minute Challenge

15 minutes a day to change your life

That is all it takes to start developing the mind of Christ in you.  So many of you have told me that you want to be better followers of Jesus, that you want to know God’s will for your life, that you want to know the one who can change your life for the better.   I have heard all the excuses, I know all the reasons you can’t, now I am telling you that you can.  And all it will take is 15 minutes a day.

In 15 minutes a day you can set the stage for a better day.  In 15 minutes a day you can prepare your heart to be open to helping others.  In 15 minutes aday you can change your attitude, your financial status, your hopes and dreams.  In 15 minutes a day you can change the world by changing your world.  And it all starts as soon as you say I have 15 minutes!

This is because God’s word is living.  It has a life of its own through you.  It lives and moves inside you.  This is because God’s word is powerful – able tochange the worst ones life for the good.  This is because God’s word is penetrating - touching the deepest part of your life.    This is because God’s word is discerning – able to tell you between good and evil, right and wrong, best and better. 

The challenge to you is the 15 minutes.  Do you think a better life is worth 15 minutes?  Do you think a stronger faith is worth 15 minutes a day?  Will you accept the challenge to spend 15 minutes a day in reading your bible.  For the next 5 weeks you won’t even have to decide what to read – I will give you that.  This first week I want you to read Matthew 5-7.  That’s all.  3 chapters.  Spend 15 minutes every day reading it.  Let it soak into your soul, let it fill your mind.  and let it change your life.

See you here next week -
