I was having coffee with a friend the other night and we are reading 2^nd Samuel and he posed a question of why David seemed to screw up around age 37. He continued to ask why people at around 35 that were once on fire are now just nominal Christians. At first I took offense because guess what I am 35, but I began to reflect on some of my experiences and people I had met and unfortunately I think he is right.

So I ask you

Do you think this is true?

If so why do you think this happens?

Over the next couple weeks I want to continue to seek this out and see how we can prevent this from happening.

For now meditate on these verses  

Psalm 119:36Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain. 37Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.

A quote from the book Radical by David Platt

“I invite you to simply let your heart be gripped, maybe for the first time, by the biblical prospect that God has designed a radically global purpose for your life. I invite you to throw aside gospel-less reasoning that might prevent you from accomplishing that purpose. I invite you to consider with me what it would mean for all of us-pastors and church members, businessmen and businesswoman, lawyers and doctors, consultants and construction workers, teachers and students, on the go professionals and stay at home moms- to spend all of our lives for  the sake of all God’s glory in all the world”

The definition of Safe

To be Free from harm, injury, or risk; untouched or unthreatened by danger or injury; unharmed; unhurt; secure; whole; as, safe from disease; safe from storms; safe from foes.
