Scott Hodge (@scotthodge) talks about ministry funding ...
OK. Not exactly. But what Scott does share is an encouraging message for leaders.
Ministry funding is on the hearts and minds of every pastor as we enter the 4th quarter of 2009. Scott encourages us to keep our mind focused on being obedient and ... in the words of his father ... "stay close to Jesus."
It's a good word. There is no room for worry or fear in God's economy. We must believe - without reservation - that the ministry God has called us to accomplish will also be fully funded. It's our job as church leaders to cultivate the resources that He has already provided for us in the people in the pew ... resources of time, talent, and treasure.
BUT all that we need has ALREADY been provided.
Pray. Trust. Follow. Obey. BUT don't be afraid. God will provide all that we need if we stay close and follow Him.
I hope this encourages you as much as it encouraged me.
