_Back in the 1950s, there was a lot of talk about the future. There seemed to be a utopian dream here in America in which we thought things in the future would be better and that technology would solve our problems. Well, we have lived long enough to know that this is not going to happen. Technology won't save us. No manmade solution will deliver the answers we are looking for.

As Christians, we are here on this earth for a mission. We have tasks from heaven that we need to fulfill. So how should we be living in light of that fact? What all of us should desire to be doing is to live our lives well.

If you had one year left to live, how would you live? Would you live your life any differently than you did the year before? This is something we have to come to grips with because we want to deal with reality of life in the future. It isn't morbid to think about death; it is realistic. The tragic thing is that many today are living shallow, wasted lives. Are you?

What have you done with your life the past 20, 30, or 40 years? Most spend their lives for themselves... this is a wasted life. At the end of the day, the only thing that count is what have you done to serve the purpose of God in your life.

Friends, don't waste your life anymore. Don't waste your year. Don't waste today. Make every day count. Make this year count!!
