This world has nothing for me...

We're starting a new series at Campaigners tomorrow night. The idea is that, as followers of Christ, we are no longer residents of this world, but residents of God's Kingdom. The series is going to be kind of an immigration and naturalization class. My hope is that each week we can draw out how we need to totally change our actions, desires and perspectives as followers of Christ. For instance, we are going to talk about how we use our time. The world tells us that our free time is ours to do what we please. We need to get as much as we can. And once we have it, we should pursue our own desires. For me, that might mean watching the Red Sox, or playing tennis, or eating double stuf oreos. Not bad things. But in the Kingdom, we serve a King who gives us every breath. Any time we have is His time. So our time should be spent doing what He desires.
Well, that's the basic idea. Hopefully we can challenge each person to decide what world they want to live in each day, each minute. At the very least, I have already been challenged. And I also realized that I forgot to call my sister on her birthday yesterday. I am an idiot.
