"Living from Life to Death-To Life!" #592

"Living From Death To Life!" Well ... now that I have your attention, where do I go with it?  Consider this ... Life without meaning or purpose is a type of death, if you will  Millions of people die throughout the world without ever experiencing true meaning or understanding of just how to see something in life work really well.  For most, they're not sure that it is even possible.  

I'm not a negative person that's for sure.  However, I have experienced enough aimless living to know that there must be a better way ... and there is.  Most of us have experienced a "type" of so-called living only to discover that it really wasn't.  For me, dying to that life actually gave opportunity to enter life as God designed it to be; and, it has not stopped but, in fact, has gotten better!  

The topic today moves us from what we know doesn't work to something that does.  And it shows the process by which "Living From Life to Death-To Life" is experienced.  My invitation to you is not limited to a mere joining in the message but to open your "hope-sensors" to receive a plan and process of purpose and mission and joy and peace and contentment.  

I said last week that there is nothing like reading true-life stories about subjects of interest.  Whether the people in the stories win or lose, we can win through learning lessons without making mistakes thorugh choosing the wrong path.  So, that's what we'll do today, this time looking at the life of the Apostle John, one of God's chosen and Christ's appointed Apostles; another great story for us to peruse.
