reset-1024-768When our computers get bogged down and unmanageable, we know to hit a reset button to simply start over. Wouldn’t a reset button be great in life? We know it would be complicated, with all our responsibilities and routines to consider, but imagine the freedom and refreshment of a new start in life! What would you do differently? What would you pay more attention to, and what would you ignore? How would you avoid getting bogged down and broken again?

The great news is, in coming to earth as Jesus Christ, God has begun to “reset” our universe, our world, and even us. We’re invited to start over with him, in what he calls his kingdom. We’re invited to start a new life with a clean slate.

What gets wiped clean, and lived differently, when God resets our lives? We’ll explore how God resets these key areas of our lives:

  • Reset: Goals
  • Reset: Time
  • Reset: Money
  • Reset: Work
  • Reset: Body & Food
  • Reset: Sex & Marriage
  • Reset: Family
  • Reset: Compassion
  • Reset: Nature
  • Reset: Society
  • Reset: Death

Follow our daily challenges Monday to Friday for the next several weeks, and invite God to reset your life.  It all starts Monday, January 13th below and in our app and social media channels.

Monday - A New Idea - Self Denial

One of the major news stories in Canada earlier this year was Chief Theresa Spence’s hunger strike. She willingly gave up food, other than fish broth, to protest and pursue what she considered a greater good. She's one of many stories of people giving up something good, in order to pursue an even greater good. In diets, people give up foods they love, for greater health. Or they fast before surgery, again for better health. Parents give up money, time, independence, much of their lives, for the good of a child. Many a professional has given up opportunities, promotions, raises for better work-life balance. One man I know gave up his career as a rising star in a major legal firm, to study and become a pastor. The list goes on. Maybe even includes you! Question: What would be important enough to make you give up food?
