Director’s Report
7 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared
to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish that I
may gain Christ. Phil 3:7-9 NIV
We thought of Dreams, Profession, Wealth, Opportunities, Expertise, Money, and the list will go on and on, that are evil and
should not be pursued. That is wrong, because what is not to be pursued is the love for them. Love for them will only produce
frustration, greediness, pride, dissatisfaction, distraction and superficial happiness. We can use them to glorify the Lord by being a
good steward of what He Has entrusted to us, but we should also be reminded every day that they are but rubbish compare to the
greatness of knowing the Lord Jesus Christ. They are just but hays and straw, not for eternity, compare to the jewels produced by
the fruit of the Spirit that is for eternity. Are we willing to give our worldly possessions for the sake of Christ? It is far better to
lose our passing possessions on earth if we gain the owner and maker of all – Eternal God.
