Some of you might have followed my job odyssey over the last two years.
As you might have noticed, I was holding my opportunities to a very
high standard. It took quite a while, but I learned some wonderful
lessons from the experience.
Money is great! I’m interested in money generally. I feel like the
more I have the more I can help. Thirty four years on this planet seems
to have proven that. But the problem with that mantra is that for some
people there is no way to achieve it without something I would call a
“wasteful job”.
What is your most important asset? It is not your cash, and it is not
your family or friends. God beats it, but not by much. Your most
important asset is your time! You get a limited amount, it can be
easily wasted and usually is, and there is no way to get it back once
its gone. Most people waste entire decades! Hopefully I can help you
avoid that.
Reaching out to people is a lost art. Having been in many different
churches of different denominations, I have discovered that some
churches do much more outreach than others. Why does this bother me?
Well, first of all, the Internet allows quite a bit of power. When I
look at these megachurches, like Rick Warren at Saddleback, and Joel
Osteen’s operation, I can’t help but think they really are not working
the Internet as much as they should. Let me explain my logic to you.
Do you know how much a prayer ad costs on the Internet? Either through
Google, or Facebook, or now Apple? About fifteen cents. So...for
fifteen cents, you can target sections of the world where Christianity
is sparse. In fact, those parts of the world are even CHEAPER usually.
How much did YOU spend on frivolous stuff today? More than fifteen
cents probably.
Take a moment. Assess your life. Ask yourself if you are really
carrying out the mission that God, and YOU, have always desired for your
life. If not...it is time to start a prayer blog. The tools are free
and the ads are cheap. There is no reason to delay!
