The Past and the Future

Many people consider things that happen in the past to be of grave importance, but I prefer to concentration on potential for what we can actually change, the future. Sure when something happens in the past often we must deal with it, but we shouldn't linger on it. The faster we can move on from something the faster we can improve the situation in order to prevent future occurrences. Too many people lack the ability to have clear vision of what would be best to do in these types of situations, which leaves us with a lot of hate filled people.

Preparation

Many people are worried about the end times, but they have no need to be since Jesus spent his last days preparing us for what was to come. The holy spirit is our guide during the end times, and if we find ourselves not sure of what to do then reading Jesus' last words should bring some clarification. It's our responsibilities to be aware of the events occurring during the end times, so we can guide others. That is why Jesus spent his last hours preparing us.

What really matters

Many people live their lives thinking that their good deeds somehow tally up in the end, buying them salvation. However, in reality you must always check your relationship status with God, all he wants is our hearts. The past does not matter to God if we have asked for forgiveness. The heart condition is what is of value to God, he likes it when we perform good deeds, but it does not buy us salvation.

Relationship vs Ritual

Unfortunately the majority of people today see Christianity as a set of rules to follow, and if followed correctly will get you into heaven. Sure there are rules you must follow but it's not all about procedure and rituals, the most important thing is your heart condition. God does not care about the amount of money you can give or the clothes you can wear, what he cares about is what we're willing to give up from what we have, simply in response to the grace he has shown us. I think that if more people understood the relationship aspect of Christianity, they would be less reluctant to hear about it.

Motivations

Everyone has their own motivations. Very often humans will have a purpose behind the things they do, it's less likely that you'll find someone going around doing something for no apparent reason. It's important to always have your end goal in mind when working towards something, otherwise you might lose track of what you originally wanted. For some people it is a personal goal they set for themselves, others are compelled by the love of Christ. Whatever our motivation is we have to keep it in mind at all times, in order to make sure our path stays in the way originally planned.

Teaching

The best form of learning is to experience something for yourself. Similarly, trying to convince someone of the truth usually is a difficult task because their previous misconceptions get in the way. Often they won't end up accepting the knowledge you have presented to them in the end, instead they will keep their own and brush your's off as false. With these type of people, it's necessary to let them experience things for themselves, so that eventually they'll realize the truth in your words.

God's Anointing

Each and everyone one of us has a calling from God which we can choose to obey or ignore.The result of every person's calling is not self-glorifying, however it is the Father's glory that is expressed. Earthly boundaries such as education and experience do not have any real affect on the work of God. However, if you truly love God then it won't be a problem to leave every behind for his purpose.
