DOING WHAT IS IMPORTANT



The Israeli settlement of Netzarim in the heart of the Gaza Strip was a point of much conflict with militant Palestinians for several years.

The conflict was so great that the settlement was evacuated in 2005.

Those who lived in Netzarim did so at great personal risk because they felt it was an important part of keeping their land free.

A schoolteacher, Shlomit Ziv, who lived in Netzarim in 2001 said:

“I don’t live where it’s comfortable; I live where it’s important to live.”

What would happen if Christians quit worrying about being comfortable & started doing what is important to God - leading lost souls to Him?

“You will not be in heaven two seconds before you cry out, why did I place so much importance on things that were so temporary? What was I thinking? Why did I waste so much time, energy and concern on what wasn't going to last?” -  Rick Warren.

1 Tim 2:4 (ERV): “God wants everyone to be saved and to fully understand the truth.”
