God wants us to manage his truth.
He's entrusted it to us.
1 Corinthians 4 says,
Well, so how do you manage
God's truth?
A part of it
has to do with
just appreciating the treasure
that we have here,
and not go looking for meaning in our lives
anywhere else.
There was a farmer who lived in Pennsylvania
in the 1850s.
And he was very happy on his farm.
But then his cousin moved to Canada
to go work the oil fields.
And suddenly the farm didn't seem that great.
And so he sold the farm.
The county records said that he sold it
for $883.
When the
new owner came out to survey the land,
he came across this stream.
And he noticed that the farmer
had placed a board diagonally on the stream
because there was this black scum
on the water
and the cattle didn't want to drink.
And so he put the board there
and it would skim off the black scum
so that the animals would drink.
Do you know what the black scum was?
The farm was in Titusville, Pennsylvania,
where there is so much oil,
it, it seeped out of the ground
and went into the streams and rivers.
In Titusville, Pennsylvania
is the site of John D. Rockefeller
and Standard Oil.
The farmer sold the farm for $883
and for the next 50 years,
Titusville was the site
of the most millionaires per capita
in the world
because it turns out
the only thing you needed to become a millionaire
in Titusville
was to
own a farm.
The guy went searching halfway around the world
for something he already had.
When you're searching for treasure,
you don't have to go anywhere else.
You have that treasure right here.
Just think about what you have
in this book.
You have a love letter
from your father in heaven,
written and signed
in the blood of Jesus
that gives you all of the answers
to life's biggest questions.
It gives you counsel
in every situation.
Comfort
in every tragedy.
And it tells you about
the heaven that waits for you
because of Jesus' life and death for you.
This is the truth
you've been entrusted with.
So how do we manage it?
Well,
it starts with:
read it every day.
Always
be prepared to give an answer
to someone who objects to it.
We want to make sure we read it every day.
We want to make sure that we don't
water it down.
We want to make sure that we read it every day.
And then we also
want to share it with everyone
in our lives.
And then, oh yeah,
read it every day.
And then
make this
the only guide for our lives.
Did I mention
read it every day?
God's blessings as you manage God's truth.
