We have been working lately on getting our finances in order.  But what for?  So that we can retire and do nothing except play golf and hang out?  I don’t think so.  Once we get a little financial freedom and I get through school, it will be time for ministry full time.  Sometimes I wonder why I am doing going to seminary now.  It sometimes seems like a waste of time as I am not a “spring chicken” anymore.  But I truly believe that God wants me there and has some reason for it.  Even though I may not have as many days on this earth as some, there is a reason for me to be studying right now.  One thing is sure…..it isn’t so I can spend my “retirement” chasing after the empty stupid things of this world.  But some will say that developing relationships and letting your light shine will suffice…..DON’T GET ME STARTED. 

One thing I can say about getting older is that heaven is getting more of an issue.  I want to spend eternity celebrating with others in the Lord’s rewards.  What a tragedy to show up in heaven with “smoking robes”, and with all the empty worldly stuff burned up as loss.  1 Corinthians 3:12-15. 

What the ministry details will be is something that will be determined.  If the Lord wills, we will be in His service sharing the gospel to the lost somewhere, but the specifics are just not there.  But that is OK.  I need to be faithful now in studying, working and evangelising.  I trust God in the details of the future. 

The following is a video about this.
