Rules of the Game




Reaching Your World with Luis Palau show

Summary: The rules of any game are used to create boundaries to make a fair playing field for each team.  These rules are enforced by a referee or umpire and compiled in an official book of regulations for that sport.  The life we live can easily be compared to a game and the boundaries we live by, God's rules, serve as guidance for how to play on God's team.So what are the rules we are called to follow as we try to reach our world for God's team?  Rule Number 1: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.  Rule Number 2: Love your neighbor as yourself.Are we following these rules daily?  Are we caring for our neighbors when they are in need?  Are we showing love to our co-workers despite a difficult project or deadline?  Remembering God's Word, His rules set forth for us, can guide our steps, our words, as we reach out to those around us.  And, the better we know God, the more we'll realize that these rules bring freedom and confidence.  These rules don't tie us down, but rather set us free to live life as He intended.  As we do, we'll be more and more excited to share God's Good News with our world.
