We all want to know that
what we do matters, we all
want to make a difference.
Not just a difference but a
lasting difference. When I
was in college I had a desire
to change the world so I
joined some of my friends
as they were going to
downtown Seattle to hand
out food to the homeless.
This experience changed
me in many ways.
You see, while I was
handing out food I was also
sharing the love of Jesus
with those who would lis
ten, and most of them lis
tened to what I was saying.
But there was this one man,
while he was listening I no
ticed he was distracted. I
had something important to
say (important to me any
way) so I was a little dis
turbed he wasn’t really
listening to me. I eventually
just stopped and asked, “Is
there something wrong?”
His answered overwhelmed
me.
He told me he appreci
ated that I cared enough to
come down and hand out
food to those who needed it,
but honestly, what differ
ence did that make? He told
me that he knew I was
going to go home, feeling
good about what I had
done, but that he would
probably never see me
again, so, why should he
listen.
I thought I was making
an impact, and maybe I

urday monthly, 8:30am for
Breakfast, praise music,
prayer and testimony. Satur
day March 11th, The Satis
fied Trio, Don Wisdom, Jim
Gandy, and Damon Wisdom
provided praise music and
testimony. Men come out of
was, but was it enough, was
it a lasting impact? I hon
estly believe everyone
wants to make a difference,
everyone wants to know
what they do matters, but
does it? Are you sure the
decisions you make are
leaving a lasting impact?
What if I told you that not
only is there a way you
could make a lasting im
pact, but that you could im
pact eternity? Guess what,
you can, and Jesus tells us
how.
In Matthew 6:19-21
Jesus tells us to store up
treasures in heaven instead
of earth. Why does he say
this, because he know,
“where your treasures are
your heart will be also.”
Jesus knows where you
place your treasures is
where you place your heart.
So how can we store up
treasures in heaven, how
can we impact eternity?
Jesus tells us that when
he talks about treasures not
being destroyed or taken
away. Ask yourself what
things are not destroyed by
time and cannot be taken
away? How about love?
How about goodness? How
about self-control? How
about gentleness? How
about faithfulness? How
about joy and peace? Yes, I
am talking about the Fruit
of the Spirit. When we use
our fruit to invest in peo
ple’s lives, we store up
treasures in heaven no one
can take away.

A baseball game takes a long time and involves a lot of sitting
around. While one player is busy swinging, another waits for his
turn to hit. For all those innings the whole team is performing, not
just the active players, but also those who are “next on deck”. Without
them there would be no one in the dugout. The scenario of life is
similar. God is our manager; our “playbook” is the Bible. Practice is
each week at your chosen house of worship. We are part of a team that
performs with confidence, for we know God has us “next on deck”.
