Fight for Your Family Judgment of Life

Fight for Your Family

Judgment of Life

What is worth fighting for?

Some believe in Karma or reincarnation

Some believe there is not life after death

But what do you believe?

The Bible tells us there is a Creator and a Judge of Life 

Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment Hebrews 9:27

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:10

Cycle 4 is not the end of life

Your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives, your husbands

We will all face judgment

Through Jesus we can face hope

Without Jesus we face hell

Is there anything more valuable to fight for than your family?

 To do what is right in the eyes of the Lord?

Judgment of life

Life what is it?

Before you were born your life

existence came from an umbilical cord.

That’s right, it all started at your navel.

When that cord was cut, your first

stage of live in this world started.

A life of Mimicry…

“The action or art of imitating someone or something.”

 

The way we learn is by watching others.

Our lives at this stage is a

constant search for approval of others.

Stage 2 is Self-Discovery.

We begin questioning what makes us different.

It is a time of trial and error.

In this stage we find out what we are

good at and what our limitations are.

Once we push through the painful process

of discovering our limitations, we begin to

focus on the joy of what we are good at.

This is Stage 3, Commitment.

We aline with friends and places that

aline with things we are good at.

We become focused.

 We limit our energy to the things

we do best and value the most.

  

Stage 4 is Legacy.

We have spent around a half century

investigating what we believe

was meaningful and important.

We begin to lose energy, so we focus on

creating a legacy that will last beyond our death.

  

Although some get stuck in one stage

or another, we all are born and die

and these four stages sum up life.

7.8 billion people are in some stage of

life right now on the face of the earth.

120,000 people are starting

Stage 1 today (Happy Birthday).

50,500 will end Stage 4 and die today.

IS THIS ALL THERE IS TO LIFE?

Raising a family is part of

Stage 3, the Commitment Stage…

Starting this cycle all over again.

Why is family so important that we

continue this cycle over and over again?

Is life all about us…

 That in the end all that matters

is how we are remembered?

The 50,500 people who will die today…

Will leave a foot print in the world.

Some of those prints will

last longer than others.

Some for good and some not so good.

Knowing all this…

 What will matter to your family?

What is worth fighting for?

Some believe in Karma or reincarnation.

Some believe there is not life after death.

But what do you believe?

The Bible tells us there is a

Creator and a Judge of Life…

 

Just as man is destined to die once,

and after that to face judgment

Hebrews 9:27

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ,

 that each one may receive what is due him

for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

2 Corinthians 5:10

Cycle 4 is not the end of life.

Your brothers, your sons and your

daughters, your wives, your husbands…

We will all face judgment.

Through Jesus we can face hope.

Without Jesus we face hell.

Is there anything more valuable to

fight for than your family to do

what is right in the eyes of the Lord?

 

Scripture Reading

Nehemiah 4:12-15

12 Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over,

 "Wherever you turn, they will attack us."

13 Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows. 14 After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, "Don't be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes." 15 When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to his own work.
