Sweat Equity / Successful Christian Work
June 29, 2010
Sweat Equity
Our workers put in a lot of sweat equity. They may spend long hours working on a building. This is grueling and volunteer labor is always needed. They also spend much time contacting the lost and other prospects. It takes work. The more people who help in the mission with visitation, the better it is. Many hours in discipleship and other training is given. Good missions do not just happen. It takes good leadership and a whole lot of sweat equity. That axiom is true for churches as well. When everyone works together results are larger and quicker. Let’s work for the night is coming when no man can work.
Special Emphasis
Offerings are slow to come in but my prayer is that God will lay on the hearts of His people to supply the needs. I know the economy is slow. That does not mean we shouldn’t really push missions. Telling souls about Christ and training those who get saved are still the most important things we will ever do. Your investment in souls matters for eternity to those who do not know Christ.
Successful Christian Work
Our Savior has a total servant heart. The Scriptures state that the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto but to minister and to give His life as a ransom for many. Maintaining a servant heart to help others will keep joy in ministry. When one begins to focus on their supposed slights, failures, disappointments, etc., joy leaves and bitterness can set in. Let’s be good servants for Jesus Christ. Keep Christ in focus and sinners in view.
