Theme: Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

Verse: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16)

Whether it is proper running technique or how to execute a proper pick and roll in basketball, fundamentals cannot be stressed enough especially when learning the sport. Legendary coaches Vince Lombardi (U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the Green Bay Packers), Bill Belichick (Father coached at the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis), Mike Krzyzewski (West Point and Duke), and Bill Parcells (U.S. Air Force Academy and New York Giants) all taught fundamentals and achieved extraordinary success in their coaching careers.

That’s great for basketball and football, Dave, but what about our faith walk? What are the fundamentals of a Christian walk? Where do we find those concepts? God has provided those in His Holy Word. No matter the situation, God has the answers recorded through parables and other lessons in His Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, the BIBLE.

This week’s challenge: Ask yourself when is the best time for you to experience the Bible on a daily basis? What do you have to re-prioritize to make the time?

Make the decision to make Bible time a priority. When you focus on this fundamental, success in life will not be too far behind!

Have a GREAT Week!
