Real Significance

What is Real Significance? Most would define Real Significance by what is important to them personally. Others might argue that Real Significance is determined by history. Sure, both sides may be true to a degree. The past has laid a beautiful foundation for how we should live and when to make impact in a suffering world. Sometimes I wonder if we have so embrassed our past that we haven't any room to be open for today and the future. Real Significance should be defined by asking ourselves, "What impact can I make on others that will be important to them?" Within the church, so many people have opinions about this or that. I often sit back wondering how these concerns will impact our world? What Real Significance is there in these "concerns"? To be honest, I am so bothered by the appearance of neglected landscape. It communicates to me poor stewardship, lack of participation, and sometimes slow decay. Now, that is my opinion. Obviously, I am guilty of the same blindness as others. So, as I write this, I am, in my heart, wanting to be more focused on what is important in God's eyes. I want God to determine, for my life and ministry He has placed me in, Real Significance.
