Balancing Your Life

One of the events in the summer Olympics is the PENTATHLON. It is composed of 5 events: Pistol shooting, Fencing, Horseback riding, Running and Swimming. The pentathlete's goal is to succeed in all 5 areas, not just 1 or 2.

Our life is a pentathlon of 5 purposes, which we must keep in balance. God's 5 purposes for our life:

1. 'Love God with all your heart': You were planned for God's pleasure, so your purpose is to love God through worship.

2. "Love your neighbour as yourself': You were shaped for serving, so your purpose is to show love for others through ministry.

3. "Go and make disciples': You were made for a mission, so your purpose is to share God's message through evangalism.

4. 'baptize them into.. ': You were formed for God family, so your purpose is to identify with his church through fellowship.

5. 'teach them to do all things..': You were created to become like Christ, so your purpose is to grow to maturity through discipleship

Live life with a due sense of responsibility, not as those who do not know the meaning of life but as those who do. Ephesians 5:15
