Finding Your Focus in the New Year Finding Your Focus in the New Year Pressing towards the goal!

Keeping focus is essential in achieving any goal in life, large or small. To some extent we all suffer from a kind of Attention Deficient Disorder!

Focus Destroyers How can we stay focused on what we need to in the New Year?

Focus Destroyers The Apostle Paul tells the Philippians just how to stay focused!

Focus Destroyers Philippians 3: Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting…

Focus Destroyers Philippians 3:12-14 …those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Focus Destroyers The Second Guess: The “What If” Game

Focus Destroyers 3 “...till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning…

Focus Destroyers …craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ.” Ephesians 4:13-15

Focus Destroyers The Three “C’s”: Critics Comparison Conflict

Focus Destroyers The Tim Tebow Journey

Focus Destroyers “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who…

Focus Destroyers …comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high…

Focus Destroyers …achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” (Teddy Roosevelt, Excerpt from the speech “Citizenship In A Republic” delivered at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on 23 April, 1910.)

Focus Destroyers Living In the Past: Only Genealogists should live in the ‘Past’ lane.

Focus Destroyers “If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.”

Focus On What? Our Direction Forward!

Focus On What? Our Determination To Press On!

Focus On What? Our Destination The Prize of the Upward Call!

Focus On What? “His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’” Matthew 25:21

Focus On What? “The Violinist!” as told by Stephen C. Roy “If the master is pleased with what I have done, then everything else is okay.”

Focus On What? Above all else, you need to fix your eyes on Jesus! Keep your gaze focused on Jesus!

Focus On What? In this New Year, keep Jesus as the focus of your life and your ministry! Keep Jesus Central!

Focus On What? “If the master is pleased with what You have done, then everything else is okay.”
