Why It's Hard To Keep Commitments

The World is increasingly complex

• There is simply too much information for us to keep track of.

God didn't design our brains for holding so many commitments at once

thorns and thistles: The curse on creation

Therefore: You need a system to keep track of your commitments

• Why should Christians care about organizing their commitments?
  • Because God is an orderly God and we should be an orderly people.
  • We should want to be faithful stewards of God's gifts.
    • 1 Corinthians 4.2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
  • We should want to be faithful servants to each other.
    • Matthew 20.26 It shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
    • We should remember and fulfill our commitments to each other. It's how we show love and care to each other.
  • We want to be a people of our word.
