Reminiscing About the Future

Reminiscing about the future.  Sounds like an oxymoron doesn't it?  Today I stumbled across a photograph of a 1965 Nova that I used to own, and a copy of the first sermon I preached 6 years ago in our previous church.  That same sermon was the first sermon I had preached 9 years ago at the Wimborne Alliance Church, which was the first church we pastored.  Ironically, it was the same passage of Scripture that I was planning on preaching on this Sunday.  1 Corninthians 2:1-5,  And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.  For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.  I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling.  My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power,  so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God's power" (TNIV). This has been my prayer at the two previous churches that my wife and I have pastored, and it continues to be my prayer as we continue pastoring our current church plant.  When I look back on my life, this is what I'd like to be true of me.  I want to live Christ, to demonstrate his power, to see lives changed because of God.  I'm not there yet.  In this sense I suppose I'm reminiscing about the future.  When you look back on your life, what would you want to be said about you?
