"IF YOU AIM AT NOTHING..."
There is an old saying about aimless drifting that goes, "If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time." There is a lot of truth to this. Churches especially run the risk of merely maintaining programs and allowing inertia to control direction. We at Standish have a three fold reason for existence. We want to proclaim the gospel, we want to make disciples and we want tot strengthen families. Everything we do as a congregation ought to fulfill one or more of these goals. Our prayer is that in doing so we will glorify our Maker and make a difference here where He has placed us. This focus is a good idea to have in our lives as individuals as well. How do we approach living our lives? Is there a purpose that drives us or do we simply let life Happen?" I think that it is a very important challenge for each of us to try and live life intentionally to glorify God. Seize the day! Make the most of the opportunities that each day presents to you. Start it with time in prayer and the word. Communicate throughout the day with God and be watchful for opportunities to serve Him. God will certainly use us if we seek Him and are available for Him to use. So, will you just let life happen or approach it with purpose? The way we each answer this will make a big difference in the fruit that we produce. In Jesus, Tony
