FOCUS: Glorify God & Make Disciples

Romans 8:6
"To focus our minds on the human nature leads to death, 
but to focus our minds on the Spirit leads to life and peace." 

Romans 12:17
"Do not pay anyone back evil for evil, 
but focus your thoughts on what is right in the sight of all people."

from the International Standard Version

------------

fo·cus  (fks)
1.  A center of interest or activity. 
2.  Close or narrow attention.
3.  Concentration.
4.  A condition in which something can be clearly apprehended or perceived.

“it is wise to focus your energies on answers -- not excuses"
[borrowed quote]

"When you write down your ideas you automatically focus your full attention on them. 
Few if any of us can write one thought and think another at the same time. 
Thus a pencil and paper make excellent concentration tools.”   
-  Michael Leboeuf

“One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; 
we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, 
never deciding to master anything in particular.”
