Week 5, Monday
I love Scott's commentary on 1 Thess 2: "Our crowning achievement will not be our jobs or even our families; it will be the people we have led to faith and maturity in Christ." That's a pretty loaded statement. And I actually believe it. Think about it: leading someone to Christ (including our kids) is the most important thing we could ever do. What matters more than eternity? But do we really believe this? Do we organize our lives, our families, our church around this? What do you think?

OK, I'll comment first. Ask yourself this question: do I spend my money with eternity in mind? Am I giving to the Kingdom in such a way that it illustrates my priority to lead people to Christ? For me, this is why I give sacrificially to Alpine. Not because I'm on staff there, but because I know many people are coming to Christ there, and I want a stake in it. It's part of my "crowning achievement".
