The definition of busy is to have a great deal to do. The verb form for busy is to keep occupied. In the year 2014, the word is on the lips of
nearly every person I talk with – we need help with this serious disease!
Yes, I said disease! I
think busyness is a disease because it is stealing our life of joy, peace, and
fun. It is spreading rapidly in our
culture with such force that people are giving up hope for a cure. It seems that we are just going to give in to
this disease with little or no fight.
Thankfully, the God of the universe came to cure the
greatest disease of all, sin, which He accomplished through His Son, Jesus. If you have trusted Christ as payment for
your sin and turned to Him from sin, you know how gracious the gift of
salvation is. If God can cure the
disease of sin, then surely He can cure the disease of busyness!
Beginning this weekend, we will be looking at what Paul
teaches as the cure for busy families from Ephesians chapters five and
six. All the way through June we will be
teaching practical messages for busy families, moms, dads, and children. We will discover the culprit for our busyness
and if not dealt with, the devastating ending.
This is serious and cannot be put off any longer!
Plan on being here Sunday to begin your ban from
busyness. During mid-week worship, we
will continue our journey through John.
I love you and want to help you became more like Him!
