Spend And Be Spent 2
July 23, 2024
Our culture continues to shift. And not in a Godward direction. What might that mean for Christ followers? I look at the Apostle Paul and see an example of a Christ follower who had to lay it all on the line. 2 Corinthians 12:15 “So I will very gladly spend for you everything I have and expend myself as well.”
He spent himself, sandal leather over years and miles of walking to the next city to tell them the gospel. Ship deck to ship wreck to get to the next place, where he might be flogged, imprisoned, and eventually he was killed.
I have never been persecuted for my faith. I have been seen as less, less cool, less progressive. Changing culture? Am I ready, so spend and be spent.
