The reason why I want to do something a little different this week and Mercedes I think you would agree

They haven't run this past you yet this thought but I think you'd agree

You were on vacation mode, so you're an unusually buoyant and effervescent and friendly and flexible state. She's still in vacation mind.

It's true. It's true. I'm so colorful too. I should send you away on vacation a lot more because it's so much better when you get back.

I'm in agreement.

All right, so let's hear this idea.

Here's the thought. The thought is this.

I really believe that the way in which the click-bait news cycle,

especially because I do Flashpoint, I do news, I do daily announcements,

and people look to me for the you know what's going

to happen what's going to happen type stuff whether it's with gold or money economics

politics so here's the deal it doesn't matter what happens. I mean I've often wanted to do a

broadcast where it would be what was happening that was historically significant

in the rise fall of the Roman Empire as a backdrop to the book of acts because it's hardly ever

mentioned what's going on in the bigger because God was doing something

in the book of acts. So here's the question for you.

What is God calling you to do in the with the backdrop of all this other stuff going on don't get lost over there

what are you supposed to be doing because you might actually be missing a moment

because you're not capitalizing on your assignment and what you're supposed to do

because we get sucked into the vortex of all kinds of current events. So we were talking

about Jesus was talking about stewardship and one of the unique words that is used in the Bible

that we quote and I think we don't understand what it really says.
