We're calling it Restoring World Order because that's kind of what has to happen when you get done with the summer.
Remove the friction
Same story, except you just so happened to set up the table and pour out the pieces at the beginning of the summer, and you said every night this summer we're going to sit down and work on this. And maybe you did for a few days, but it's summertime.
Everybody got really busy, there was lots of daylight in the evenings, people were staying up super late, getting up late in the morning, traveling out of town all the time, having people over, doing everything in the world except that puzzle.
Turn intention into action
I'm pretty excited, actually, about a return to the world order that allows me to deepen a select number of things every week, like faith, fitness, friendships, and financial responsibilities. And look, we haven't talked about God or the Bible too much yet today, but I want to work in a passage for you from Hebrews chapter three.
In Hebrews chapter three and in verse twelve, the Bible says we have to take care that there not be in any one of us an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.
Keep moving forward
Schedules are back in place, kids are back in school, vacation time is over. I'm reestablishing world order here, and it may be trying something unique or new, a different kind of Bible read, a different service in the church, a different way of exercising.
If you are interested in restoring world order in your life, reversing atropy, making things better, number one, don't be too dramatic about it.
