“As base a thing as money often is, yet it can be transmuted
into everlasting treasure. It can be converted into food for the
hungry and clothing for the poor. It can keep a missionary
actively winning lost men to the light of the gospel and thus
transmute itself into heavenly values. Any temporal possession
can be turned into everlasting wealth. Whatever is given to Christ
is immediately touched with immortality.” – AW Tozer
Money is everything in our culture. We need it to pay our
bills, to save for the future, and to put food on the table. It very
easily for many becomes an obsession and an idol to be
worshipped. Despite it being so significant a piece of our lives
we are sometimes hesitant to talk about money in a church
setting.
Jesus never hesitated to discuss money. Dozens of times the
gospels record him teaching on how we spend, give and earn our
money. We will be spending the next 4 weeks participating in
this conversation that scripture has over 800 times from Genesis
to Revelation. Having a right approach to how we make, keep,
save, give and spend our money is essential for a disciple. As
Tozer states above our money does not just have to be a
temptation we overcome in this life but rather it can be another
tool we use to glorify God in this world. Join us on Sunday
mornings and Wednesday nights and get in on the conversation!

As students are graduating from high school, I’ve been thinking about the ways
in which God gives us a calling for our lives. In Scripture we see this happen in some pretty
spectacular ways. No matter what age a person may be, it would be pretty awesome to
receive a clear message from God indicating exactly what one’s calling for life is. But there’s
one story of God giving someone a message that stands out to me because the specific
calling for the boy’s life isn’t the only thing he is being call to.
The story of David is one many of us know well. God tells Samuel to go to the sons of
Jesse so that he can anoint the boy who God has chosen to be the future king. After looking
on the sons of Jesse it is David, the youngest and seemingly least likely to be chosen as
future king, who God tells Samuel to anoint. So there it is, a clear calling for David’s life.
He is going to be the king of Israel.
But immediately after being anointed, David returns to the fields to continue his duties
as shepherd. And later he is called in to play the lyre for Saul, the current king. I imagine for
some of us, pride may have gotten in the way of us completing that task. And then David
faces Goliath. And then David has a contentious relationship with Saul in which Saul tries to
kill him. All these things and more happen before David becomes king. The point is this:
David is called specifically to be king but his more general calling is to be faithful wherever
he is in life.
The same is true for us. God’s word is a clear message from God that we are called to
be faithful where we are. Your call, your created purpose is to bring glory to God (Isaiah
43:7).
Joseph
