Paul's command
Time is an asset to be used wisely. It is to be invested wisely for God's kingdom.
Time is something to be used. We are to use it to gain interest. Jesus tells us He expects a return on our use of time. God gives us gifts, one of which is time. We are to use them.
We need different kinds of relationship. We need mentors. We also need people who feed you. And you also need people that you are serving and giving to. This is how the community should work.
Here's a framework to look at different areas in our lives.
Urgent/important: problem
Urgent/unimportant: popularity
Not urgent/important: purpose
Not urgent/unimportant: pleasure
What is important but not urgent in your life?
Consider the different roles in your life: husband, father, son, homeowner, neighbor, church member, worker, small group member, friend, brother... Focus on purpose rather than problems. In your schedule, set it up to address twice the amount of purpose areas for problem areas. Eliminate popularity areas in your life.
