Obey the Great Commission and get on board with what I call The Epic life. Share the Gospel. Be a part of making disciples. Why? Because we're running out of time, and we have a message here, and we have a prophecy, and we have an understanding of things that we won't even be part of, so that we can inform and warn and exhort people that have not yet received Christ.

The Bible describes us: we're like aliens and strangers walking through this earth. This isn't our home and because this isn't our home, and understand that, and that it's not going to last, we can look forward, we're still working here, we're still serving here, but we're looking forward to the glorious appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ and that sets my heart free.

Those of you that had been in ministry for a long time, you know that this is basically what ministry is. There's a lot of joy, there's a lot of pleasure, there's a lot of satisfaction, there's no life that's more fulfilling, in my estimation, than serving the Lord.
It is a process of beating your breast in grief and you still got to show up. Prokope.
This word "hope: You know we hope for a lot of things. We hope for good weather you know, we hope that we get to Al Pastor before they run out of their tacos. We hope our kids turn out well, we hope for a lot of things, but that kind of a hope is wishful thinking hoping. That's not the biblical definition of the Word that Paul is using here.

A heart of faith and love: These are two other qualities that we see are characteristics of a truly born-again Christian. They Have this faith and love and the inspiration for this of course is their expressed confidence in God. I want to give you a very simple definition for faith. Faith is simply taking God at His Word, that's what faith is: taking God at its word. It's not a feeling it can be, it can accompany feelings, but faith is not a feeling. It's nothing that you have to work up, it's nothing that you have to groan for or grunt for, faith is simply taking God at His Word.

In first Thessalonians, Paul tells us that we're to pray continually. How do we do that? Well, the simplest way I can describe continual prayer is not the folding of the hands and the closing of the eyes, and kneeling, and having a prayer list. That's a part of Prayer, that's a valuable part of prayer, but praying continually is just having an ongoing dialogue with God because he's our friend and because he's our Savior, and because we have a life in front of us every day.

It kind of begs the question, what does it take for you to be stripped of a thankful heart? Maybe all it takes is a little offensive comment from somebody, or maybe a little neglect from someone. It could be that an oversight by a worker or by boss, or maybe a physical ailment, or a whining child or Kapaa traffic. You know it's embarrassing, but sometimes, that's all it takes for a thankful heart to evaporate and then what are we focused on, we spend all of our time.
