Key Points from this episode:
- Day 1 affects Day 100.
- What we do now will enhance or inhibit those we seek to serve.
- Sometimes our own actions cause barriers for multiplication in the future. You can’t get back the beginning years if you aren’t intentional about them.
- Be careful not to make yourself indispensable to the process.
- Be willing to grow, learn and change what you do
- Our best resource and guidebook is the Book of Acts! Read it and learn from it.
- We can’t work against the culture in individualistic ways when the culture is community-oriented.
- There can be unintended consequences to our giving. We can “muddy the waters” related to motivations in coming to learn about Christ.
- 1 Thess. 4:11 & 12. Work with your hands so you will not be dependent on anybody and your testimony will be credible.
- 4 groups to think about when you give: The person, the disciples/church, Christianity nationwide, & the non-believing community
