I have spent some time researching the validity of me doing a little bit of forex (foriegn exchange) trading. The further I got into my research the more I realised that in order for it to be worth the time I would need a bigger investment than the amount I had in mind. Sure, I could sit there all day and do micro trades that get me 15 cents at a time. But in the end I decided not now. It is not good use of my time.
John Piper mentions in a few of his books about a little poem he used to have on his fridge (or something like that). It read;
Only one life, will soon be past.
Only what’s done for Christ will last.
This was an important reminder to me that time is precious, and it is limited in this life. I have a family to learn to love and support and protect better. I have a job with the potential to do much good for the kingdom of God. What God gives each one of us in a life is time to work out ways to love him and others more.
Its good to be a Christian…

Ah yes. I remember when you used to love me… hehe
It is easy to get distracted. Did you draw the picture? Woops did I just get distracted?
Nice one mum… nice one..
Do you like John Piper? He writes some pretty solid life stuff. Have you seen all that he has got fro FREE on http://www.desiringgod.org. It is awesome.
I recently discovered another great Christian writer with excellent rsources too. Mark Dever pastor of capital Hill Baptist Church. I heard hiom last week. He was in Aus. His stuff can be found a http://www.capitalhillbaptist.org and @ http://www.9marks.org after a book he wrote 9 marks of a healthy church.
There is some good stuff out there amongst the other trashy stuff.
Yep, I love John Piper. He has got some great free stuff. I checked out the Capital Hill Baptist Link and there is some good stuff from his Core seminars available for download by the look of it. I will have to check it out sooner.
mmm…interesting…………..
I like the quote, it is very true, maybe i will use it in my message i am preaching next term….
