restoring emotional and spiritual[margin] Our natural person is out of alignment with God’s nature Ephesians 5:15-17 Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Culture always pulls us off-centre into a gap-less lifestyle “Margin is the amount available beyond what is necessary.” - Pastor Andy Stanley

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.”~ Ephesians 5:15-17 Foolishness is the default position of this culture Romans 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.” How do we plan wisely? Have the courage and the faith to say "no" to the many good things - so that we can say "yes" to the best things

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.”~ Ephesians 5:15-17 The first thing Intimate time with God Matthew 6:33 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” You & I don't have time not to have time with God Last week... spend five minutes just being in the presence of God. This week... I challenge you to double it take it to ten minutes!
