Well the announcement is out and Apple is releasing the next new tech item that everyone is in a frenzy to put their hands on, the I-phone 5.  Isn’t it amazing how we have to do almost anything to own one of these toys and in 6 months we are ready for the next version to come out.  We are a culture that moves from craze to craze trying to fill that unquenchable desire to maintain the excitement we feel when we get the next greatest thing.  Yet as we release all that passion into the next empty purpose, we miss the real distraction that is occurring in our lives.  Each of these quests to accomplish the next greatest move or buy the newest thing, rob all of us of the perspective that people are going to Hell all around us.  And we will sleep outside a Best Buy to be the first to by a cell phone that from the moment you buy it is losing value.  Rather than being inconvenienced so we can preach the kingdom of God to people, where the moment they get saved that person’s value increases.  There is no other pursuit with lasting rewards like the pursuit of a Soul.  Today I would like to encourage to ask yourself, “What is the pursuit of my life?”  In order to find what should be the answer for our life we need to look at the life of Jesus. His only pursuit came down to one phrase, “Seek and to Save that which are lost.”  When He died we inherited that pursuit in the “Will.”
