Nurturing Christ's Church with the Truth of God's Word

From Lightbulb to Laser Beam

As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
(1st Peter 4:10)

The Course (68 pages)

Did you know that you have a divine calling? This does not apply only to pastors and missionaries. This is true whether you receive your income from the secular workplace or from a vocational ministry. You and I have been called to fulfill a certain ministry.

But how do we know which one? When asked to serve in some way, how do we know when to say “Yes” and when to say “No.” (We cannot do everything.)

Beloved co-laborers in Christ, it is possible to know which ministries allow us to best invest our time, energy, resources, and abilities … and which ones do not. To have this focus, our labor will be zealous instead of half-hearted … skillful instead of mediocre … thorough instead of incomplete … efficient instead of wasteful … satisfying instead of ho-hum. It will turn a church of lightbulbs, scattering its light here and there, into a church of laser beams.

And when it is time to give an account of our stewardship at the Judgment Seat of Christ, we can be sure that we had been faithful in the use of our God-given resources.
