Mark 8:36: What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
I think everyone's definition of earthly gain is different. How much is enough before you can be satisfied? It is hard to say that a certain amount of money or goods is enough. What usually ends up happening is that we say we will get to helping someone or doing something God wants us to do right after we finish the thing we are doing for ourselves. Whether it be school, getting ahead in our career, having a family or home; we find reasons to get around our calling. I'm sure there are lot's of people who share the gospel at school, work, and with their family, but I have a hard time doing so if I am not completely focused on what God is doing. I am reminded from the recent train derailment and earthquakes in Nepal that our time here is not determined by us, so why keep putting things off. If I love God, then I should be loving him and being obedient now and not later.
God please help me to have a kingdom mindset for my family, coworkers, and the families in Clarkston.
