Abraham Lincoln did not say, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." No matter who said it, and whether the time was originally hours or minutes, it's still a great quote. Because it reminds us that we've got to work smarter, or we will work harder. The work of the Kingdom is what Jim has in mind today, and sharpening the axe is the time we spend in prayer. The sermon is called, The People of God are Dependent. We're in Colossians, chapter 4.
