Ride 2 Remember (now ) 2014 (if my math is correct)

Just registered for this event riding the 65 mile loop. What a great, fun opportunity to support Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The ride starts with two laps on the Darlington Nascar Raceway with three different length loops to choose your ride, a meal after the ride and a free ticket to the afternoon Xfinity Race. -- Ben Franklin

In the first century, the objective of the sower was to take the seed, throw it out, and let the wind pick it up. The process was pretty primitive. He just walked out, had his seed in his big bag, reached in, and threw it.

Interestingly, the word broadcast actually comes from the root word for sowing seed. And in the same way, our job as Christians is to go into all the world and preach the gospel, or sow the seed.

We throw out the seed of the gospel to as many people as we can, and time will tell who the real converts are. That’s because sometimes people come on strong in the beginning and then walk away, never to return. Other times, people have a weak start, but they get stronger with the passing of time.

In the parable of the sower, Jesus talked about seed that fell along the wayside, and the birds came and ate it. He went on to explain, “When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside” (Matthew 13:19 NKJV).

So we just have to wait and see who the real believers are because sometimes a person will make a profession of faith, will fall away, and then return. That is a prodigal.

How do we know the difference between a prodigal and someone who is not really converted? If someone has professed faith in Christ but walks away and never comes back, then they are like the seed that was sown along the wayside. A prodigal, however, will always come home.

Sometimes you can have a weak beginning but a strong finish. What matters is how you finish.

“When I go biking, I am mentally far, far away from civilization. The world is breaking someone else’s heart.” --Diane Ackerman, American poet

The Christian life is like a race. Each of us must run to win.The Bible says, “Finishing is better than starting”. (Ecc.7:8) It’s doesn’t matter if you start well. It matters if you finish well. The key is keep your eyes on Jesus as you run. (Heb.11)

This week we are taking some time off of social media, and we encourage you to do the same. Rest is essential to our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. It reminds us that we are meant to live dependant on the God who never grows weary.

Here are 5 ways you can choose to rest this week.

1. Social media fast.
Put your social media apps in a folder and move them off your home screen. Even better… delete them for a week.

2. Journal.
Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help you reflect on 2021.

3. Walk.
Go on a walk without any technology and if it’s safe, alone.
Pray as you walk, and ask God what his dreams are for you in 2022.

4. Read.
Pick one chapter of the bible, and read it once a day, every day, for a week.
Write down what sticks out to you each day.

5. Sleep.
Sometimes the thing you need the most is to rest physically.

We’ll see you in 2022.
