Thank you – I was actually searching for
a biblical scripture “to whom much is given..”. I couldn’t remember the word “required”. I was thinking “expected”. But there is a big difference between the two words. Expected suggested you can do it or not – without accountability. Required, to me, suggest that there is accountability – one because you were trusted with the “much” and/or because it is all a part of a larger plan and your part needs to be played out.

This is my Christmas gift – again thank you for writing it.

One of my favorite quotes is from Thomas Fuller’s “Gnomologia,” published in 1732. It says, “He does not believe that does not live according to his beliefs.” It seems a lot of Christians in modern culture are quick to talk about what they believe, but when it comes to living it out there’s a hesitation, as if they aren’t sure they want to act on the conviction of their hearts.

I’m also reminded of something Francis Chan said in his book “Crazy Love.” He asked the question, “Do you want to see God more than you desire security?” What a punch in the stomach! But true. We’re more interested in investments and saving for our retirement and making sure our credit card bills are paid than we are in feeding the hungry, healing the sick or reaching the lost.

This time of year it’s easy to be so “thankful” for our blessings that we forget the rest of the world. Thanks for writing this, Adam.

Peace.
