(Mission Cast) Discover How Delightful You Are To God (Deut 30:9; Luke 1:68 69)
(Pictured Above: George Müller, 1805-1898) Jeff & Mim discuss the relationship between posterity and redemption. Does God want us all to be wealthy millionaires, in the wealth of the world? Or, does God want us to be wealthy spiritually, blessed in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ? What if, however, God blesses you greatly with wealth and possessions, then what? Or, what if God enables you to wisely handle and steward major financial resources? How does redemption affect stewardship? Jeff and Mim recall the story of Rev. George Müller (pictured above) who cared for more than 10,024 orphans, established 117 schools that provided Christian education to over 120,000 students. He ensured that every student graduated with a job and was properly prepared for life. He lived to be 92 years old. His funeral was attended by over 10,000 people. Having managed over half a million dollars in his life-time, he died a relatively poor man, having dedicated his earthly resources to the work of caring for orphans and the advancement of the gospel. Jeff and Mim conclude with a brief discussion on how the Holy Spirit assigns various gifts to be used for the common good through a variety of activities and services—all for the glory of God. They ponder what God has given them to be used for others’ sakes and for the gospel. We all have unique ministries but the same mission.
