A sermon on living with purpose. The speaker cites Ephesians to argue that wasting time means missing your divine destiny, and urges you to use your gifts and abilities actively for God's plan instead of living carelessly.
Chapters
If you're not careful, you'll actually end up wasting years of your life. And before you know it, you'll look up and you'll realize that so much time has gone by and you haven't even had a chance really to apply yourself to fulfill the destiny that God has placed in your life. Look at what Ephesians says. So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. You have to learn to discipline yourself. And focus your mind that you might maximize the time and the energy that God has given to you. Life is sacred. God's given to you as a gift. When he created you, he created you for a purpose. He created you with a plan. He put gifts inside of you, abilities, and he wants you to make use of that which he's deposited in you.
