Making Your Mark recap -- May 8, 2012

Dr. Scott Guffin did a great job teaching Sunday School.  He kicked off a neat Sunday morning that had him taking care of Sunday School, Dr. Jim Bruton delivering the sermon at "big church", and Mrs. Oleta Bruton speaking at the Senior Adult Recognition Luncheon.

Though each of them used different scriptures, each touched on our lesson of "Making Your Mark" from a different angle.

Scott taught about building on the right foundation, sharing your life message, and keeping your focus from Deuteronomy 6:1-15.

He showed this video:

 
It speaks directly to our class since most of us have children.  Watch the video.  Remember "40 versus 3000" as you go through your day.

Dr. Bruton's message came from 2 Corinthians 5.  If you have ever been part of R.A.'s, you'll recognize 2 Corinthians 5:20 which says: "we are ambassadors for Christ"In the geopolitical world, an ambassador is someone sent by one country to another; that person represents the country who sent him.

It's the same way for us as Christians.  We are sent by Christ to represent Him to the world.  We are to conduct a ministry of proclaiming the Good News.  Those who know Jesus are to tell those who don't know Jesus.

As a Christian, your actions are the book that others in this world will read about Jesus.

Mrs. Oleta geared her talk to the Senior Adults.  But her message fits everyone.  Her point?  "I want to live until I'm gone".  Can't add anything to that.

Three different people; three different angles; one unifying theme.  Make Your Mark.

Look for ways to be a blessing to others this week.  Make your mark.

Loyally yours,

“I believe people should study a little bit every day. It should become habitual, like brushing your teeth, combing your hair, having a shower or getting dressed. Study the mind, the laws of the universe and paradigms. There’s enough information on those subjects to keep a person studying forever.”  Bob Proctor
