There is a little church in western Pennsylvania. At least there was. The doors and windows are boarded up now. The church is no longer in use (in fact, I believe the church has been demolished since the taking of this picture where an empty lot now sits.)
Interesting thing about this church building. It was the space my father's father accepted Christ as his personal forgiver and leader. That event changed the course of my family forever. I honestly do not know where I'd be if it weren't for that commitment he made that day, in that building.
Of course, it's not the building that matters for eternity. It's what takes place THROUGH the building that matters. The longer the building is open, the more people who have a chance to get to know Christ.
In the same way, you only have so much time. Your body, the temple, will one day be "boarded up" and laid to rest. When you're gone, all you will have is the influence you left on other people.
Implications on serving strong:
- Take care of your temple through diet and exercise
- Develop a love of continual development
- Respect the concept of sabbath rest
- Continually Hone the strengths God has given you
- Seize the Moments God give you to serve well
