I enjoyed growing up with a rich spiritual heritage.

I learned after observation and study that not only is there the spiritual economy of worship in congregational meeting places, but God has a practical economy to be lived out in between.

Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own? –Luke 16:10-11/NIV

I am still learning, not an expert by any means.

Standing on the spiritual leg I was given, but on a wobbly practical leg, Christ came along. With His teachings from the Old and New Testaments, my practical leg got stronger. I continue learning how to run my race practically and spiritually, and see how only God can sync the two.

I want you to win your races strong in all areas. I want to win my races strong in all areas as well. As someone once said, life is a marathon, not a sprint.

God’s Kingdom and economy is His. His citizens are everywhere. I once heard a minister say that God’s Kingdom is where God’s subjects are. Despite the difficulties of this world, there are so many who claim the name of Jesus and giving their all to honor the Name. I want to be found among these subjects. It’s non-partisan, ethnic-inclusive, gender-inclusive, sees no class division nor educational divide. God’s economy is powered by His Love come in flesh, Christ who left His Spirit to guide all of His subjects.

Amazing!
