How I Found $25K (and how you can, too)
You may have $25K (or $10K or $100K) that you can use differently.
This story shows how this move didn't make us rich or anything like that; it helped us be better stewards of what God had blessed us with. And, speaking for many pastors, the church (as an industry) needs to be known more for being more trustworthy.
Speaking Truth to Power
"Speaking truth to power? Jesus showed us it's about speaking powerful truth.
🔑 Key takeaways: • Jesus didn't speak up to power, He spoke down to it • True power comes from obedience to God, not political systems • Obedience isn't just doing what you're told, it's eagerly listening to every word
Remember: Before you stand before your 'Pilate,' stand firmly in Christ's teachings. The Gospel isn't about fixing the world's systems, it's about transforming hearts through obedience to God.
'I am the way, the truth, and the life.' - John 14:6
What I want to say (as a pastor)
This election season, remember: • Seek first God's Kingdom above all else • Love your enemies • Be salt and light • Pray simply, not for show • Choose lasting impact over momentary gain
Jesus didn't endorse Herod or Caiaphas. He invites us to a radical, counter-cultural life of self-denial and cross-bearing.
