"Laboring for God's Kingdom"
September 6, 2010
"… give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you."
--Luke 6:38
America is recognized the world over for the productivity of its labor force. But the economic crisis of recent years… and that continues today… is a powerful reminder that not even great productivity can ensure national or personal wealth.
How long will it take us to learn that money doesn't deliver on its promises? Earthly treasures collapse! That's why Jesus warned us saying, "Don't store up treasures here on earth." It's because he knew that "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" (Matthew 6:21).
