You have to get out of your comfort zone when you’re dealing with anybody. Those people are no more special or different than you. And let me give you a little tip, those people want you to approach them. Who would they be without you? They would be nothing without your fanfare. They would be nothing without you buying their products. Those people would be absolutely nothing. And I want to encourage you to get outside of your comfort zone. Go up and meet those people!

There'a a lot of areas of our life that we procrastinate about. And we always say that's how I am. But we have to stop.
Procrastination is a bad thing. It's affecting you and the people around you. It's rude. It's selfish. Saw a sign before: "Your procrastination does not dictate an emergency for me." Quit saying I am a procrastinator! Don't claim and own that.
Stop procrastinating! Get out there today and say "I am going to own it! I am not doing it anymore because I am tired of disrupting other people's lives and I am tired of disrupting my life. So, today forward, I will procrastinate no more!"

Some of you guys, my heart goes out for you today because you're dealing with children that you have a broken relationship with. You don't have any ties, any connections.
Here's what I want you to do today. Reach out to those kids today with maybe a word of encouragement, maybe a hug on them, love on them. Tell them that you love them. I am not saying condone what they've done. We have a lot of kids out there that are knuckleheads that have done the wrong thing. They've made bad decisions. But let me remind you of something. You made some bad decisions yourself as a child, as a teenager, as a young adult.
Don't hold them to a standard that you're not willing to adhere to yourself when you were a younger kid. Let's show some grace. Be the bigger person. What I am saying is there is nothing that they would do that would separate my love and willingness to go out and pursue them. Maybe you need to say "Hey I don't agree with what you're doing but I want you to know that I will spend my last quarter helping you if you're willing to change." Don't love your passbook more than you do your kid. You got to love them back to you not beat them into submission.

I want to talk to you about how to keep the main thing the main thing. And I am talking about our relationship with our spouse, our marriage. The number one thing that we've done in our marriage to keep it successful is keeping Christ at the center. Our relentless pursuit of Christ I think has helped us more than anything in our relationship.
