#158 Live With the End in Mind, Hopeful, joyful reminders from Micah, Isaiah, and Zephaniah

The best-selling book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People totally revolutionized the lives of millions of people and one of the habits he talked about is a great summary of our lesson today.

The habit I’m talking about is Habit #2—Begin With the End in Mind

The prophets who preached after the fall of Israel and before Judah was conquered by Babylon preached to challenge people to do this.

We will briefly talk about 3 prophets Micah, Isaiah, and Zephaniah, and how they encouraged people to live with the end in mind.

There are several related topics we also cover including how Christianity is a linear religion unlike many Eastern ones with a clear beginning of planet Earth and also a clear end. Related to this is the reality that our lives have a clear ending where we will meet Jesus and not vague reincarnation where people imagine a series of do-overs. We also talk about judgment and rewards.

The prophets and the point of this lesson is that we have ONE opportunity in this life to determine the outcome of our eternity and we want everyone to as C.S. Lewis says, "choose the right side."
