Radiant Church:The Clock is Ticking

We are a people who live by the clock, everything has a time, and time keeps moving along no matter what we do. We can't slow it down, we can't speed it up...it just steadily ticks along till our earthly time is done. The fact is we are suffocated by our efforts to get life from sources other than Christ, and this is often why our light dims and fades away. We always think if only we had more time. Or we think I just need to be a better time manager. Or if I could only find balance in life between the many demands. The real issue is we fail to understand how precious time is and by the time we finally get it, we're almost out of it. Why is it the things that matter most in life, come at the expense of the things that mattered least? So let me be clear right up front I am no more qualified to preach on this subject of time, than I am at explaining String Theory. I am an oft confessed, but not cured workaholic! I like work and to be honest I don't always know when to stop. I hate telling people "No" although I am getting better at it. So maybe Sunday is just for me, but my guess is that I am not alone. I think we are a people who remain enslaved to the burden of attempting to make life work by trying harder. How's that working for you? I believe exhaustion, fatigue, and lack of margin directly affect our radiance, it dulls Christ in us. So set some time aside Sunday, to find some time, for a timely message!
