3 Ephesians 5:15-17 Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Our natural person is out of alignment with God’s nature Culture always pulls us off-centre into a gap-less lifestyle “Margin is the amount available beyond what is necessary.” - Pastor Andy Stanley

4 restoring emotional and spiritual [margin] James 4:14 “...you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” “Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” ~ Ephesians 5:15-17 Be very careful how you live your life, because if you don’t, culture will drag you away from the things that you say matter the most.

5 restoring emotional and spiritual [margin] Romans 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.” “Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” ~ Ephesians 5:15-17 Foolishness is the default position of this culture How do we plan wisely? Have the courage and the faith to say "no" to the many good things - so that we can say "yes" to the best things

6 restoring emotional and spiritual [margin] “Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” ~ Ephesians 5:15-17 The normal thing? Busyness does not equal productivity “No!” Is a complete sentence! “I don't have time for what's important to me!"

7 restoring emotional and spiritual [margin] Matthew 6:33 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” “Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” ~ Ephesians 5:15-17 The first thing Intimate time with God You & I don't have time not to have time with God Last week... spend five minutes just being in the presence of God. This week... I challenge you to double it take it to ten minutes!

8 restoring emotional and spiritual [margin] Matthew 11:28-29 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” “Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.” ~ Ephesians 5:15-17 The second thing Intentional times of rest 10 Commands - "You shall honour the Sabbath" What is normal... is not working
