Priorities That Make A Difference

The 4Fs of Adult Life

1. FAITH
Putting God first will put order to the rest of your life. Nothing will pull you down when you have faith in God.
37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' ~Matt 22:37-39 (NIV)

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” ~Heb 11:6 (NIV)

2. FAMILY
Many people bring trouble on their families by sheer neglect or abuse. You sow what you reap. Nothing is automatic.
“The man who brings trouble on his family will have nothing at the end” ~Proverbs 11:29 (TEV).

“Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.” ~Eph 4:29 (NLT)

3. FINANCE
It is important to be financially sound. You need wisdom about money to manage the wealth that God has given you.
“Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.” ~Prov 13:11 (NLT)

“Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom?” ~Prov 17:16 (NIV)

4. FRIENDSHIP
Good friendship enrich and bring colors to your life. Invest your time in building meaningful friendship.
“A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” ~Prov 18:24 (NIV)

“Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity” ~2 Tim 4:12-13 (NIV)
