It's the End of the World...
Welcome to the end of the Church year!
This Sunday we mark the last Sunday of the Season After Pentecost before charging heading into Advent​.
And each year at this time we are assigned readings that remind us of the end of the ages.
In fact, time after time the Bible talks about the end of the world - why? Because you and I do well to remember three things:
First, remember, your time on earth is limited! We only have a brief window to make mark, gladden, encourage, inspire, and repair! Be strategic on how you choose to spend your valuable and limited time!
Second, there will be a judgment, so what we do here matters! Put people before stuff. Values before valuables.
Don't spend all your days in mindless entertainments, but mindful projects. Embrace your gifts and purpose knowing the ends rarely justify the means.
Third, the end of your days will consummate in paradise. Live today like you're going to heaven tomorrow.
Shed anxiety. Manifest joy. Embrace laughter. Your end, like your beginning, good Christian, is in God!
We all have a sell-by date!
So walk in love as Christ loved us, and gave himself as an offering and sacrifice to God.
