Scriptures:
"Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:14,15)

"At this they wept again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-by, but Ruth clung to her." (Ruth 1:14)

"Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh...." (Jonah 3:3a)

"Several days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him as he spoke about faith in Christ Jesus. As Paul discoursed on righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and said, 'That's enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you.'" (Acts 24:24,25)


The video above is a highlight from the okc thunder-la lakers playoff game. What an awesome series the underdog thunder played against the reigning NBA champs! I wanted to use this highlight to emphasize the power decisions play in the outcome of our lives. With time winding down Mr. Kobe Bryant, a notorious clutch shooter, dribbles down the court and misses the final shot. All the Thunder needed to do in order to win the game is get the rebound. I pause here to say that one bad decision can negate a lifetime of good decisions. The Okc Thunder had played a great game but did not box out one time and it cost them the game/series. I want you to be aware of how important the decisions you make this week will be. Some of us are putting off decisions that could cost us, some of us are stuck in bad decisions. Either way this life we are living is a life of decisions. A great sign of maturity is when we begin to make the right decision where we have always seemed to make the wrong one. Grow up for life is waiting and destiny hangs in the balance. Jesus loves you!
