GAME PLAN
You talked the talked, now walk the walk. How does your Game Plan / Weekly Schedule show you are following Jesus or conforming to the patterns of this world? Don’t tell me how much of a Christian you are, show me. One should be able to tell you are a Christian without you having to tell them. What stats do you have to back up your claim to be a Christian?
You can create a plan to be successful at work like a project schedule or implementation plan, but what about for your life? A coach creates a plan to train up his team.

Cut off the branches that do not produce fruit for God, your wife, and children. Fill out the Game Plan showing how your time is used today. Then see how you can make changes by replacing the things of this world with things that glorify God.

GAME FILM
Review your results. Do they show you are a Christian, a good steward of what God blessed you with, and glorifying Him? Make adjustments to your Game plan / Weekly Schedule as needed. Keep running the Plays that are working and work on what is not.
Lamentations 3:40, let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.
Galatians 6:4, but each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.
John 15:1-2, I am the vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while ever branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruit.
See what Plays others are running successfully. It is better to learn from others mistakes than to make the mistakes yourself. Question the status quo like the new boss should do. Ask why are we doing things this way if, they are not working?
Remember we are to be humble servants and good stewards of which God so richly entrusted to us. Titus 1:7-9, since an overseer is entrusted with God’s work, he must be blameless – not overbearing, not quick tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that we can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
