From across the sea

Aside from the post having been shared by Dick Pascual, the title of the video certainly got my attention: “My LAST Words to the World - John Lenox” – YouTube. Curiosity got the better of me and so I stopped my Sunday morning chores to watch and listen and it was worth every second and minute of my time especially on a Sunday morning when we dedicate the day to God.

“Our lives rush past. We’ve become fixated on digital equipment that’s robbing us of time. People say to me they have no time. They have lodes of time. If you want to know how much time you’ve got?

We’re robbing ourselves of the most important thing in life if we’re Christians, and that is seeking fellowship of God through his word. You will never make any impact in this world by reading the Bible for five minutes before you jump into bed. And I am brutally practical.
