  1. Wasting time

  2. How Important Is Time? Psalm 90:10 The days of our lives are seventy years;         And if by reason of strength they are eighty years,          Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow;          For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

  3. How Important Is Time? James 4:13-16 13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we willgo to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” 16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

  4. People Waste Time • Trying to live forever.

  5. We can’t live here forever. • Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, • Ecclesiastes 8:8 No one has power over the spirit to retain the spirit,       And no one has power in the day of death. There is no release from that war,       And wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it. • 1 Timothy 4:8 For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.

  6. People Waste Time • Trying to live forever • Praying.

  7. Prayer Can Be A Waste of Time 1 Peter 3:10-12 Isaiah 59:1-2 Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened,      That it cannot save;       Nor His ear heavy,       That it cannot hear. 2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God;       And your sins have hidden His face from you,       So that He will not hear.

  12. People Waste Time • Trying to live forever. • Praying. • Waiting for the “Rapture.” • Worrying. • Holding grudges.

Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’ • Matthew 7:6 “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
