How you live your life matters (Eph. 5:15)

Several lies:

Non-Chalant lie: “The way I live doesn’t really matter.”

Depressed lie: “My life is worthless.”

Existential lie: “My existance has no real meaning, so I must make up my meaning from within.”

Discouraged lie: “My life won’t really count towards much.”

Self-Centered lie: “My life is all about my happiness, so I’ll just do what I want.”

Make the best use of your time, starting now. (Eph. 5:16)

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Don’t do things that waste your life. (Eph. 5:18a)

Be filled with the Spirit. (Eph. 5:18b)

Start now
