Don't waste your life

I know a lot of people out there scared they gon' die
Couple of em thinking they'll be livin' in the sky
But while I'm here livin' man I gotta ask why, what am here for I gotta figure out
Waste my life? no I gotta make it count
If Christ is real then what am I gon' do about
Everything in Luke 12:15 down to 21 you really oughta go and check it out
Paul said if Christ ain't resurrected then we wasted our lives
Well that implies that our life's built around Jesus being alive
Everyday I'm living tryin' to show the world why
Christ is more than everything you'll ever try
Better than pretty women and sinning and living to get a minute of any women and men that you admire
It ain't no lie
We created for Him
Outta the dust He made us for Him
Elects us and He saves us for Him
Jesus comes and He raises for Him
Magnify the Father why bother with something lesser
He made us so we could bless Him and to the world we confess him
Resurrects him
So I know I got life matter fact better man I know I got Christ
If you don't see His ways in my days and nights
You can hit my brakes you can stop my lights Man I lost my rights
I lost my life
Forget the money, cars and toss that ice
The cost is Christ
And they could never offer me anything on the planet that'll cost that price.

Suffer, yeah do it for Christ if you trying to figure what to do with your life
If you making a lot money hope you doing it right because the money is God's you
better steward it right
Stay focused if you ain't got no ride
Your life ain't wrapped up in what you drive
The clothes you wear the job you work
The color your skin naw you Christian first
People living life for a job
Make a lil money start living for a car
Get em a house a wife kids and a dog
When they retire they living high on the hog
But guess what they didn't ever really live at all
To live is Christ yeah that's Paul I recall
To die is gain so for Christ we give it all
He's the treasure you'll never find in the mall
Your money your singleness marriage talent and time
They were loaned to you to show the world that Christ is Divine
That's why it's Christ in my rhymes
That's why it's Christ all the time
See my whole world is built around him He's the life in my lines
I refused to waste my life
He's too true to chase that ice
Here's my gifts and time cause I'm constantly trying to be used to praise the Christ
If he's truly raised to life
Then this news should change your life
And by his grace you can put your faith in place that rules your days and nights.

Quote #2

Live in victory
If you believe in the future
and are assured of victory,
then there will be a dance in your step and a smile on your face.

Max Lucado


Vision
The people who
constantly rise to the top
are those who possess a vision before
the prize is won.
They see the triumph
before anyone else.

John Maxwell

Warrior #1

What does it mean.. to be a warrior..
To be constantly fighting.. physically and spiritually..

I don't even know whether I'm fighting for You.. or against You..
If it is for You, give me orders.. I'm waiting for the moment to strike!
But if the fight is against You, please defeat me already..

How can I battle His own creations in this society and world.. why can't I claim small victories.. why are there rules and boundaries during the fight.. and why are there so many unanswered questions..

Maybe.. maybe I should fight myself to begin with.. maybe I have to put myself on the research desk and examine myself.. Am I worthy to fight.. and who do I fight for..

I know I was chosen to fight because He threw an arrow and a shield to me.. a message and His Word.. enough reason to start the battle..

But before I can win.. I must sharpen my skills, build up my strength and stand up..
Only then I can move on each time.

Then finally.. let me fight under Your command and lead me to victory..


to be continued..

Faith

Faith.. is like the NBA, the National Basketball Association.
The Bible is the players guide, the Lord is our coach and we are the players.
Everything the coach wants to explain to us is written in the guide. The intention of that guide is that the players go into the rules of the game. So that they don't accidentally come up with a hockey stick instead of a basketball.

If the common target is not known by the players then they will never score. So pay attention when they are on practice and explain the differences between a personal foul and a flagrant foul.
When we are playing the game, we can't talk to the coach. We are on our own. But when a time-out is called, that is the time we can talk to him. In this case it is prayer.

Like a coach says: 'we are going to watch a dangerous-situation in the game.' It's preventive. It is to prepare for the coming games, to evaluate the games and to learn from mistakes that are made. And the most important: to enjoy the wonderful scores!

Basketball is a team sport. Faith is too: 'Together you are going for the championship.' In this case, the aureole.
It's not only about the awards and the honoring.
It is also about the game itself, which means living your life.

'Fair-play' is the motto of the Christian coach Jesus Christ.
How do you play?
