Re-think your life!

Useful tools in every chapter Justify Full
Before you start reading this book, it is important to take notice of the following statement: this is NOT a book about rules! The Bible says in Colossians 2:16-17,

So let no one make rules about what you eat or drink or about holy days or the New Moon festival or the Sabbath. All such things are only a shadow of things in the future; the reality is Christ.
It is not my intention to discuss the differences between Old and New Testament and whether God speaks to Jews, Christians or nonbelievers. I do not want to discuss whether modern day Christians are required to keep the whole Law, parts of the Law, or nothing at all because they are set free. These are interesting questions and worth debating, but not in this book. I certainly do not want to talk "Sabbathology". This book is a simple but clear message from God. It is a personal message for whoever wants to hear it out. It is His message, and I see it as my assignment to give it to you and make you think about it.
Throughout this book (and the whole series) I urge you to re-think your life. I hope that while reading, your thoughts will start to drift; that is why every chapter ends with some questions to meditate upon and room to journal your thoughts and ideas. For example:

# Could I use more time? If yes, for what reason?
# Do I do things in my life just because everybody does it?
# What natural and spiritual improvements do I want in my life?

I hope and pray that while reading this book you will discover the power of God's Word. I do not have to prove that God's word still works today; it will prove itself. If you are serious in discovering the secret behind the words; get your pen or pencil out, let the Spirit talk to you and...write!
