  1. The Christian and Time Management Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15-16 RSV)

  2. 24 Hours In A Day! Average American spends 2.8 hrs watching TV.

  3. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Ephesians 6:10-11 RSV) Time Management

  4. Time Can Be Wasted! A lack of application No organization Computer / Internet Television Cheap literature Overemphasis on recreation & entertainment Overemphasis on work Dwelling on past mistakes Reliving personal injuries Worrying about the future Gossiping & listening to gossip And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing; and he said to them, 'Why do you stand here idle all day?' (Matthew 20:6 RSV)

  5. Recognize The Value Of Time! Time is needed for: Character to be built & rebuilt Health lost to be regained Hearts broken to be mended Lost friends to be regained The sinner to repent The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. (2 Peter 3:9 RSV)

  6. A Time For Everything! (Ecc. 3:1-8) A Time for Work. (Eph. 4:28) A Time For Rest. (Jn. 4:6) A Time For Relaxation & Recreation. (Mk 6:31,32) A Time For God! (Matt. 6:33; Ecc. 12:13,14) But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. (Matthew 6:33 RSV)

  7. The Brevity of Life! Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and get gain"; whereas you do not know about tomorrow. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and we shall do this or that." (James 4:13-15 RSV) "LORD, let me know my end, and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is! (Psalms 39:4 RSV)

  8. Using Time Properly! Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15-16 RSV) Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time. (Colossians 4:5 RSV)

  9. And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:9-10 RSV) Our “Time” Is Our Season of Opportunities!

  10. We must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day; night comes, when no one can work. (John 9:4 RSV) We All Have A Limited Time!

  11. Lord, for tomorrow and its needs, I do not pray; Keep me, my God, from stain of sin, Just for today! Now, set a seal upon my lips, For this I pray; Keep me from wrong, or idle words, Just for today! Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey; And keep me, guide me, use me, Lord, Just for today! Just For Today!
