4. Christ's claim that he makes all things new, and His call to us to be new people. This newness begins within the life of a believer, but it must find expression in the world.
5. Otherwise we cannot really be considered new people. We must think about the following consequences of our commitment to the coming of the kingdom:
(2) The Kingdom of God (Biblical and Humanistic)
1) The kingdom of God gives the goals, the unifying purpose which is so missing in Maxist or humanistic time management plans.
2) The secular vision has no such accountability and does not want it. Humanists object particularly to the idea that we have reason to be ashamed before God, and that we need his forgiveness for our resistance to his loving claims on our priorities.
3) Time management tools may well be effective means, once the ends are clear, but those ends do not come from the management skills themselves.
(3) The Holy Spirit (The active agent of the kingdom of God)
1) The Holy Spirit provides the link of meaning or significance between the overall goal of God and the individual actions of the millions of subjects in his kingdom.
2) The Holy Spirit interprets the Word of God to our present, so that the urgency which marked the Old Testament prophets and the urgency of the approach of Final Day become the motivation to mae right choice in the present.
3) That Day has past and future, has no other function than to illuminate today, and the One who knows the future is the very One who aids us in our personal and corporate planning.
