STEWARDS OF TIME

A frustration I commonly hear from people in my stage of life (newly married, young kids, starting career) for not reading their Bibles more or serving the local church more is a lack of time. Randy Alcorn with some practical advice and a useful resource.

When we keep track of how we spend our time it makes us better stewards because we become aware of what we otherwise don't really know. For example, people normally watch far more TV than they think. Becoming aware is the first step of stewardship, which puts us in a position to decide "I want to spend more time reading some great books and talking with my wife and reading to my kids, and to steward this time I can reduce my television watching by 10 hours each week." Again, we won't do this without a clear picture of how we're currently spending our time

This is a great quote!!!

CJ Mahaney has said that we should track our time as to how much we watch television throughout the course of the week.

Be forewarned...you probably watch television a lot! We meet a fork in the road...do we keep watching the same amount, or do we figure out how to watch less? "Deal or No Deal???" you choose:)

Good post Michael!

In Christ
