86,500


God has a plan for our lives!

Being LOST means missing the mark.

Not living out Gods plan for our lives is sinful because God gives us opportunity, talents and abilities and at the same time He uses our personal passions and life experiences to fulfil His purpose. Once we respond to God’s gift of GRACE in Christ Jesus, we are raised to a new life.
This, in every sense, is the essence of what it means to be a Christ follower:

To Live with purpose!

We have been given 86,500 seconds a day to use.
Living with purpose means living inside every opportunity, embracing our passion for life and making a world of difference.

As you read this, have you or are you wasting precious time?
Then follow these steps: CONFESS and ASK God’s forgiveness, ACCEPT His offer of a full life in Christ Jesus, SEEK His guidance and then LIVE with purpose.

What strikes me about all those seconds, in the context of living in Jo'burg, where we try to put in as much as possible into every second, is the value of 'heaping them up'.

How much value can we ascribe to someone by taking the time to spend a truly focused 1800 seconds (half and hour!) with them? That person is more important than the 6 emails I could have responded to, the 7 calls I could have returned, or anything else I could have done. It almost feels like Mary pouring out the perfume on Jesus feet - I lavish this on you, because it is the most valuable thing I can give you. And I won't dilute it by answering my phone, or thinking about my next meeting. I give them to you.
Jesus lavished 1,041,400,800 seconds on us! Me, I'm glad of them!
