Most men are not satisfied with the permanent output of their lives. Nothing can wholly satisfy the life of Christ within the life of his followers, except the adoption of Christ’s purpose toward the world that he came to redeem. Fame, pleasure, riches, are but husks and ashes in contrast with the boundless and abiding joy of working with God for the fulfillment of his eternal plans. The men who are putting everything into Christ’s global undertaking are getting out of life its sweetest and most priceless rewards.
I love his language. Fame, pleasure and riches are just husks and ashes compared with sharing in God’s work in His eternal plan. As we embark on this new chapter in our lives, we are filled with wonder and excitement and joy (and a bit of fear and trepidation too, if we are totally honest).
In the next few days, we will have several new sites coming online (as soon as our web designer gets it all finished 🙂 ).
Thank you for your continued prayers.
