Summer Reflection By Lecrae (@lecrae)


By Lecrae

This summer has been full of surprises and interesting dynamics. We have been traveling the world not just entertaining people but actually trying to be a light in a dark world. The trials were plentiful again this year. Losing loved ones, strained relationships, and unforeseen circumstances. I just want to ask our family to continue to pray with us.

The summer is not over and even if the "buzz" dies down the ministry won't stop. We still need prayer and more support than ever.

As an encouragement just want to plead with our family, Don't Waste Your:

Time - Knowing tons of sports stats, lyrics, trivia answers is great and wonderful, but if you know all that and none of God's word there is a problem. If we can spend time becoming the greatest X-box player and not study God's word, develop gifts, serve others, etc. I'd say we are wasting precious time we have been given.

Money - "You have your money as a steward, not as an owner. You don't own anything, not even your bodies. You are a manager. Get the notion that you own things out of your head. This means that your money is wasted if it does not acheive the purposes of its owner - God. You have been entrusted with money so that the way you use it will show that Jesus is more valuable than money. How will you do that? That's the challenge of life in America." -John Piper

We even ask you consider giving to REACHLIFE. Check the link for more info.

Talents - Don't spend all your time chasing down some bigger way to use your gifts. Use them right where you are. Your local church, city, community, and family can benefit greatly and see how incredible God is through you. Be faithful with the little and God may entrust you with more. He may not though.

Remember whatever you do... do all for the glory of God.
