Living the Dash

Living the Dash

Scripture(s): Psalm 39:4-5; 1 Peter 1:24-25

 What if you only had one month to live. What changes would you make in your life? In this series based off of the book One Month to Live: Thirty Days to a No-Regrets Life we will be encouraged to face our own mortality and live life to the absolute fullest as Christ intended.  We only have One Month to Live.

When you go to a cemetery you see the headstones of all those who had passed on.  When looking at gravestones and monuments, some include facts or sayings, Bible verses or poignant memorials, but each person’s life really comes down to what transpired between those two dates. It comes down to what’s in the dash. I look at the dash of a particular person’s marker and wonder, What did he live for? Whom did she love? What were his passions and dreams? What were her biggest mistakes and greatest regrets?  

This week we will open our series, One Month to Live, we will look at the beginning and end of life is not the most important thing and it for the most part, we have little control over those two dates.  What we do have most control over and what is most important is Living the Dash.
