Today, God’s Word encourages each of us to ask the question: “Am I making MY life count for what really matters? Do I honestly trust God, or am I playing it safe?” In this parable we see three great truths… I – What you was never ! (Matthew 25:14-15) II – What you shows what you ! (Matthew 25:16-18) III – What depends on how you ! (Matthew 25:19-30) Today’s ‘Take-Aways.’ Ask Yourself… “Am I living like an , or a ?” “Are my decisions shaped by or by ?” “Do I keep in view, or am I just ‘surviving’ ?” NEXT WEEK: The “Compassion” Test!
