Want In?

What is a 5:16 gal?
A 5:16 gal is a gal who has decided that she wants to redeem the time with her savior. She is choosing to rise early, before the day takes her away, to sit at the feet of Jesus.
What is the 5:16 club?
The idea for the 5:16 club originated here, and began as the 5 am club. While the ultimate goal is to rise early, circumstances don’t always allow (pregnancy, new baby, illness, etc.). The real purpose of this club is to encourage and journey with one another as we seek to spend time with the Lord every day – whatever time of the day you are able.
Why 5:16?
Ephesians 5:16 says, “making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” The literal meaning is “redeem the time.” We are seeking to redeem the time and make the most of every opportunity to seek the Lord with all our hearts. Why? Because the days are evil. We must prepare for battle each and every day – sometimes just to get through the day!
Where do we “club?”
We “club” over at the 5:16 forum where we study scripture, pray for each other, and encourage one another in the Lord! Come join us for our latest study! If you’re on Twitter, you can find the gals at the 516 Twibe where you can chat live!
So, who all is in the club anyway?

“I earnestly recommend that it be in the early morning, unless there are some extenuating circumstances. Entering the day without a serious meeting with God, over his Word and in prayer, is like entering the battle without tending to your weapons. The human heart does not replenish itself with sleep. The body does, but not the heart. We replenish our hearts not with sleep, but with the Word of God and prayer.”
John Piper
