We all live according to priorities. How do you know? A priority is that thing to which you give your time and attention. So take a good, honest look at what you are thinking and doing most of the time, and you will see what your priorities are…not what you say they are, but what they really are. With that sobering perspective, most of us could use a reordering of our priorities. This audio session will be very helpful.

Let’s do all we can to make sure that we and our children can see clearly; hopefully through God’s eyes.

Please share your ideas about how we all might see more clearly.
A great idea has value when it is acted upon. Action often requires risk. Will you do it anyways? I will! We must discipline ourselves to think and act, think and act. Then, and only then, will we get the great rewards in life. Do you want to be closer to God, wiser, healthier, kinder, wealthier, and more influential? Then you and I must consistently capture great ideas and act on them! Even if they’re risky. Billionaire Jon Huntsman said, “Leadership is about taking risks. If your life is free of failure, you’re not much of a leader. Take no risks, and you risk more than ever. Leaders are called on to enter arenas where success isn’t covered by a warranty, where public failure is a real possibility.”

This topic can be tough, because of relationships with friends and family. Share your thoughts below.
What do you do to get attention? Is your sense of self worth attached to the opinions of others? Do you try to use foolish behavior, your body, or your possessions to get the praise of those around you? Your value is not determined by the opinions of others, nor should your self esteem be. Consider what our lives would be like if we removed the ego from our conversations and actions, and confidently lived on purpose.

In this crazy world we all live in, we’ve got to be so careful to not be deceived. There are many that will tell you that dishonesty is OK, that infidelity isn’t that big of deal, that alcohol and drugs won’t really ruin your life, or that viewing pornography is natural and normal, etc. Even Christ said that the very elect may be deceived. Don’t be deceived!
