Clergy Appreciation Month
In the early 1990’s, churches began appreciating their Pastors & Leaders in what was called “A National Day of Honor.” That initiative was introduced in the month of October to support their spiritual leaders for their hard work & dedication to the Ministry.

Today, that observance is now known as “Pastor Appreciation Month.” I want to take the opportunity this month to say ‘Thanks’ to all the Pastors, Ministers, & Servants who serve faithfully in every aspect of Ministry.

But honoring & appreciating leaders is certainly not new. The Apostle Paul, along with Silvanus & Timothy, wrote to the church in Thessalonica these words, “We beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor amongst you, & are over you in the Lord, & admonish you, to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake.” (I Thessalonians 5:12-13)

These verses emphasize the importance of recognizing & appreciating spiritual leaders who dedicate themselves to guiding, teaching, & caring for the Christian community. They also encourage believers to be aware of & show respect for those who labor in Ministry, & who provides instruction & guidance in the faith. Spiritual leaders deserve acknowledgment & respect for the work they do, & the Christian community should respond with appreciation.

Rick Warren said it best - “Spiritual leadership is not about popularity, power or position. It’s about serving with humility.”

That’s my Inspirational encouragement for today.

The Subject of Work from a Biblical Perspective
Here's an interesting question. Is their work to be done to maintain our salvation? Let’s be clear, salvation is a free gift. “For by grace are you saved through faith, & that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Ephesians 2:8-9 is the cornerstone of our Christian faith, expressing the essence of salvation & the nature of divine grace. The source of salvation is God’s charis (grace), His free & undeserved favor, initiated by Him, which cannot be earned by us. Faith (pistis) is the means of receiving that gift, meaning trust & reliance on Christ’s work, not a merit-based achievement.

Yes, salvation is free, but it’s not cheap. There’s a little bit of involvement on our part. Here’s what Paul wrote to the church in Philippi, “Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, ‘Work Out’ your own salvation with fear & trembling.” (Philippians 2:12)

The writer is here encouraging believers to continue in their new-found salvation by actively living out the grace God has given them by growing spiritually & demonstrating their faith through obedience & love. Just as a seed requires care to grow, believers must cultivate their spiritual life through prayer, study of scripture, & constantly building up their faith as mentioned in Jude 1:20.

The best free gift ever, but we should show some signs that we’re working to keep it.

That’s my Inspirational for today.

The Subject of Work from a Biblical Perspective
When we talk about work, it’s not only an activity that applies to the secular industry, but also to the Church. There’s much work to be done in the Kingdom of God, & every available person is needed.

“Does God need us?” Well, that’s a great question. Let’s take a look at Exodus 3:7-10 to find an answer. In these verses we see where God prepared Moses to lead Israel out of Egypt. In verses 7-9 God said, “I see the affliction of my people. I’ve heard their cries for help. I know about the oppression imposed upon them.” In verse 8, take note that God said He was going to handle it. But in verse 10, we find the answer to the question above. God said to Moses, “Come now & I will send you unto Pharaoh, that you may bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt.” In other words, the work was going to be done in part through Moses.

While on the earth, Jesus was our great example working for the Kingdom of God. This is what Jesus said in response to healing a blind man, “I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day, the night cometh when no man can work.” (John 9:4) This verse emphasizes the urgency of doing God’s work while there is time. The ‘Day’ represents our active time & opportunities to serve God. The ‘Night’ symbolizes the end of our earthly chance to do God’s work.

“The future of the Church depends on how much work we put into it today.” Use your gifts & talents for the Glory of God.

That’s my Inspirational for today.

The Subject of Work from a Biblical Perspective
Depending on how a person views work, it could be a good thing or a negative thing. “Why do we have to work?” “Why wasn’t I born into a wealthy family?” “Why didn’t I hit the lottery?” If you’ve asked or heard these questions, you’re not alone.

In Genesis 3:19, there’s a reasonable response to why we have to work. “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread.” When Adam didn’t adhere to the instructions given to him in the Garden of Eden, physical labor was the retribution for his disobedience.

Unless you were born into wealth or didn’t hit the lottery, then you’re like most – you have to work. But there’s good news. Ecclesiastes 3:13 says this, “That every man should eat & drink, & enjoy the good of all his labor, it is the gift of God.” This verse emphasizes that when a person does works, they should enjoy the benefits from it. While we may dread getting up each day, that nice cruise afterwards is the ultimate blessing. When you put in 8-10 hours, it will take a toll on your body, but relaxing in that nice comfortable home afterwards can be a soothing experience. If the workload causes you to miss lunch, how about a nice dining experience at an elegant restaurant to make up for it.

So, whether work may look like a negative thing, the Bible suggests that we enjoy the blessings from it. While it may have passed down for retribution, it’s also the Gift of God.

That’s my Inspirational for today.

The Subject of Work from a Biblical Perspective
On Monday, September 7th, Americans will celebrate & participate in what is called “Labor Day.” Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, but many will enjoy it by taking the day off from work. It’s a day to honor & recognize the contributions of the working class in the United States.

The labor movement began as a result of poor working conditions, long hours, low pay, dangerous work, etc. As labor unions became more popular, Americans demanded better working conditions, along with better pay.

When you look at it from a Biblical perspective, God set in order a perfect example for all of us to follow. “In the beginning, God created the heaven & the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) And on the sixth day, "God said everything was very good." (Genesis 1:31) In other words, everything that God created looked good. But something interesting happened on the seventh day. Genesis 2:2 – “And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made, & He rested."

What a great example that was for working class people all over the world to emulate. “When you work hard, you deserve a day off.”

Stay tuned as we explore ‘Work’ from a Biblical perspective.

Lifelong Learners
Lifelong learning is the continuous, voluntary pursuit of knowledge. Our finite minds may never know all there is about an infinite God, but our curiosity to learn should never cease.

Here’s what Romans 11:33 says, “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom & knowledge of God. How unsearchable are His judgments, & His ways past finding out.”

This verse highlights the vastness & depth of God’s wisdom & knowledge. It reminds us that as human beings, our understanding is limited, & there are aspects of God’s ways that are beyond our comprehension. It serves as a humbling reminder of the difference between our finite understanding & God’s infinite wisdom.

Depth - How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts. (Psalm 92:5) Job chimed in to say this, “Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?” (Job 11:7)

Unsearchable - We cannot audit God’s courtroom, His reasoning is far above us. (Isaiah 55:8) Moses chimed in to say, “The secret things belong unto the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong unto us.” (Deuteronomy 29:29) There are things that God desires to disclose unto us.

Lifelong learning is exactly what it means, it will take a lifetime to learn about an everlasting God.

That’s my Inspirational for today.

Lifelong Learners
Continuous learning is the ongoing, self-motivated, pursuit of knowledge. It goes beyond traditional, one-time schooling to embrace personal & spiritual growth. Continuous learning is the ultimate edge because we live in an ever-changing environment.

As Christians, we must avail ourselves as the Bereans to stay ahead of the curve. Staying ahead of the curve refers to being in a position of advantage compared to others by anticipating future developments or changes.

Paul, writing to a young Timothy, encouraged him to do this, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God." (II Timothy 2:15) The advice to Timothy were to do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, one who does not need to be ashamed, & one who correctly handles the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15 emphasizes the importance of diligence, integrity, & accuracy in studying God’s Word. This verse encourages believers to actively pursue spiritual growth & understanding, presenting themselves as faithful & competent servants of God.

“It's not enough to be up to date, you have to be up to tomorrow.”

That’s my Inspirational for today.

Lifelong Learners
“In the beginning God.” (Genesis 1:1) “I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob.” (Exodus 3:6) “I am the Lord, & there is none else besides me.” (Isaiah 45:5) All throughout the Bible, there’s reference to who God is. He’s Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Tsidkenu, etc. So, how can we come to know this God?

Years ago, I took a college course titled, “Biblical Theology” by Geerhardus Vos. Theology is simply the systematic study of the nature of God. The good news is that God wants to be known, & through consistent study, we can come to know the God of Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob. Here’s what Jeremiah 32:38 says, “And they shall be my people, & I will be their God.”

Jeremiah 9:23-24, “Thus saith the Lord, let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, nor the mighty man glory in his might, nor the rich man glory in his riches, but let him glory in this, that he understands & know me. I am the Lord who exercise lovingkindness, judgment, & righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, saith the Lord.” These verses emphasize that it pleases God for us to know Him.

“Your capacity to learn more about God is limited by your willingness to try.”

That’s my Inspirational for today.
