Do you remember the story of the rich young ruler who came to Jesus and asked what he needed to do to inherit eternal life? Jesus told him he needed to make a commitment: He needed to sell everything he had and give it to the poor, and then come follow Jesus. This young man became very sad when Jesus told him this, and he didn't follow-through because the commitment was too costly for him.

PROGRAM D-6043

We find freedom by making commitments. Think about it: You found freedom from the bondage of sin and the prospect of hell by making a commitment to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. You found freedom to prepare yourself for the future by committing yourself to get an education. You found freedom to have an income and support yourself when you made a commitment to take a job. Freedom truly comes through commitment.

As a leader in ministry and in my church, I'm well aware that people are less and less willing to make a commitment. Many wait until the last minute to sign up or agree to help. It can be frustrating, but what is the reason for it?

PROGRAM D-6041

When you first hear the phrase 'freedom through commitment' it sounds like a contradiction because we think that commitment takes away our freedom. If I make a commitment to marry, I lose my freedom. If I agree to head up that project, I'll be tied down. If I accept this invitation for Saturday night, something better may come along. If I sign up for that event at church, I may change my mind. So how can commitment bring freedom?

PROGRAM D-6040

If you are good at managing your time, that means you are productive, you follow up and you don't allow things to fall through the cracks. It means you prioritize your work and know what should be on the front burner and what can wait. A good time manager has a plan for each day and works that plan, and believe me that is a highly valued skill to any employer.

PROGRAM D-6039

In this economy, with unemployment high, you need to be continually thinking of what you can do to make yourself more valuable to your boss and your organization. Don't take that job for granted. I'm sure you know many people, as I do, who have been laid off from jobs after long years of service and with a good record. No job is totally secure in this kind of economy. So, as you go to work each day, remind yourself that you must do everything you can to keep the job you have.

PROGRAM D-6037

The next important basic in keeping your job is your work habits. You know, there is great value in being dependable and trustworthy. And that begins with being on time - even a little early - every workday. Be honest with yourself - are you very careful to be on time each day, or do you fudge a little here and there?
