Pastor Tate shared a few weeks back about being part of a society today that loves lists. Lists like “Top Ten Habits of Millionaires” that would suggest if only you and I followed these habits we might too become millionaires. In Matthew 25 Jesus foreshadows a time when all will be separated into one of two groups: those who will inherit the kingdom and those who will be cast out. And sometimes we wonder what it will take, what we need to accomplish, what we need to do here on this earth to end up in that first group.

Truth is, we already know. Micah 6:8 tells us, “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” We are conduits for the love of God to a hurting and lost generation, or at least we are supposed to be. So again I ask, are we prepared?
