Focus on the Important

Last Saturday, one of the youth in our church was in the graduation ceremony at his high school.  His brother will transfer from junior high (middle school) to high school this year. Three students in the After-School Program are graduating from elementary school. They are all focusing on reaching these milestones and acting accordingly.

We both have tasks related to our regular schedule that keep us busy. When we are planning to host short-term teams or hold summer camps, we add exciting anticipations to the mix.  Sometimes the focus on these things can begin to override eternal priorities. Jude does an articulate job of expressing the essence of a balanced Christian life.

Would you pray that God will help us to keep Jude 1:20-25 priorities while completing the do-list items of our lives.  I believe that God will be honoured when He helps us to live in that way.

Praise and Prayer

• Praise the Lord for that approximately 60 people joined us for the Thanksgiving Service celebrating the Chiayi Alliance Church relocation.  Visitors were from Canada as well as different parts of Taiwan.  (Photo)
