Tuesday
Skit = take a risk at loosing good in order to do the good God calls you to do.
talk = TREASURE THE SOURCE OF GOODNESS is the wisest way to Treasure!
God is where goodness comes from.
Where does bad come from??? Seeking 'good' in wrong ways. Example? Dictators who want good food and other good pleasures. Step 1, gain power. Step 2, use power to gain wealth. Step 3. use wealth to indulge in pleasure.
So what's wrong with that? Answer: go to a refugee camp. "Goodness" taken the worldly way is at the expense of the goodness of others. Remember step 1? When we try to take what we want, without reference to God and his goodness, it is evil in that it destroys good from others (and in us). That is a dramatic example. A more immediate example is being cruel to someone in order to look good to others. We enjoy the 'good' of being liked by our friends, but that is because we abused power (mocking someone else). That's bad.
For Wednesday: 2 Peter 1:5-9
How can I treasure wisely????

Monday -SEW
Monday - Treasuring Wisely.
We don't know how many days we have. Life is short. Don't let it pass by. Choose what matters and live for that.
thelastletter.og is a site where the video is from. It is a project done, in large part, by a friend of mine. Great imagery and challenges. The point is this:
Peter's 'last letter' was to tell those he cared about to focus intentionally on God's goodness and the promise of God sharing that goodness with us. When we do that, we diligently work at living out the gift of salvation. This is not working for salvation, but is also not wasting the gift. WE HAVE WORK TO DO IN ORDER TO LIVE WISELY.
What do you treasure? Why? How are you adding to your treasures?
