Sustainability
God mentions three things He provides for building sustainable lives, families, organizations, etc.: “By wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established; 4 And by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches (Prov. 24:3; cf. 2:6).
Today, we are dealing with pain, tragedy, natural disasters, human made disasters, chaos among leaders, hatred, violence, greed, poverty, economic challenges, and we are deteriorating from within.
Build to last by asking God for His wisdom, knowledge, and understanding which are sustainable, building blocks for your life, family, and more.
FYI, God is the One Who said knowledge is power (Prov. 24:5).
Make your way to church this weekend.
God Bless,

Impact Touches
Impact Touches:
Everyday you touch people. But how? Is your touch too hard or insensitive and leaves a string of hurt people?
Or, is your touch gentile, and positively impactful?
God said touch people with wisdom based conduct, and perfectly seasoned speech that never misses an opportunity. (Colossians 4:5-6).
Christians, ask God to forgive you for your painful touches, and train you in the depths of graceful touches that impact people for Jesus.

Are You Sure?
Are You Sure?
You checked and double checked, but are you sure you have everything?
What about the 6 pieces of your spiritual gear, the Armor or God?
Stop!!! Symbolically put on your girdle of truth, your breastplate of righteousness, your gospel shoes of peace, your shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Eph. 6:13-17).
Now you are ready! Now go out and make a positive difference in the world around us.

God and your 20/80
God and your 20/80
Ask God to direct the right 20 % of your time and energy for the maximum 80% of your results (Vilfredo Pareto’s law of the vital few).
Practicing Proverbs 3:5-8, will end the frustration, stress, and physical drain from trusting in yourself and driving off course pursuing endless opportunities. Let God focus your 20% and He will show you the path that leads to a healthy balance and His ongoing favor (your 80% result).

Your Labor is not in Vain.
Your Labor is not in Vain.
Being tempted to take a short-cut today? Tempted to practice an old habit (you know the old “go for what you know” routine), tempted to a step back, and eventually quit, or are you tempted to take over, make independent decisions, take credit, and ignore important others?
Step back, and meditate on I Cor.15:58: “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.”
God does not consider you or your labor (“toil”) worthless. The long hours, energetic, and selfless effort you give, is always noticed by the God. In the Lord, you will receive a reward in this life and in the life to come. Be encouraged, “your labor is not in vain.”

Super Bowl Weekend for the Church
Super Bowl Weekend for the Church
Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday is a time of sober reflection, and the highest level of celebration for believers all around the world. This is Super Bowl weekend for the church.
Jesus died on the cross, and rose again from the dead so that our sins could be forgiven, and we can have an eternal love relationship with the living God (John 3:16).
As you reflect on this unconditional, “never been loved like this before,” love, respond to God’s love by sharing the message about Jesus with others,
Invite someone to church, pray for non-Christians to hear the message and put their faith in Jesus.
Finally, live the changed life for Jesus, be in God’s house for worship this weekend, and enjoy rich fellowship afterwards.
Check out Mtzionontario.com for our worship times.

God’s Abundance for You.
God’s Abundance for You.
“He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, but he who pursues worthless things lacks sense (Prov. 12:11-12). Instead of spinning into the misery of discontentment behind comparing your life, possessions, and opportunities with that of others, try life God’s way. Take “your land” (what God gives you), and use God’s wisdom to consistently implement best practices (till your land) and enjoy the abundance God has for you (plenty of bread).
Stop worthless fantasizing about stuff, and diligently work for the abundance God has for you.
