Now wasn’t that easy!?!?

In short…stay connected, fruit happens.

1.  THE GOAL

Every 60 minutes to give as much of yourself as you understand to as much of God and his will as you understand and see if God doesn’t show up in your life in the next 60 days in ways you can’t imagine.

2.  THE BIG IDEA

Use external reminders to get our attention to remind us of the 60-60 experiment and break us out of our normal daily routines, preferably something that beeps – watch, timer, phone or computer alarms.
Here’s a link to an online timer if you want to use it:  http://www.online-stopwatch.com/interval-timer/

If you don’t have anything like this, you can use something as simple as sticky notes or signs posted on mirrors, you computer monitor, your steering wheel, the refrigerator, etc…when one catches your eye, use it as a 60-60 reminder.

3.  WHAT TO DO

Here are some suggestions of what to do when the beep goes off:  stop and give thanks to God for something specific, ask God for his help, pray for a coworker, tell God you surrender yourself to Him, confess a struggle, cast your cares on Him, ask God to be real to you and to speak to you, be still and silent and listen for God’s voice, take 2-3 minute walk outside and see the glory of God in creation, worship God for who he is and what he has done in your life…

4.  WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE

Everyone!  From skeptics and non-believers to life-long Christians.  See John 7:17.

5.  GUARANTEES

a.  It will be hard.  Push yourself.

b.  It will be inconvenient.  It will take sacrifice.

c.  None of us will do it anywhere near perfect. But doing it perfectly isn’t the point.  You can’t lose.  There’s no downside.  If you only pause once or twice a day and connect with God, that’s once or twice more than before.

6.  FINAL ENCOURAGEMENT

This is about training.  There is a HUGE difference between training to do something and trying to do something.  Your life becoming more and more like Jesus isn’t a matter of trying harder but of training wisely.  That’s what the 60-60 experiment is all about.  Training ourselves to stay connected to Jesus.
