Don’t worry, don’t be nervous. If you are having flashbacks
to 5th grade and wishing you would have studied that daggum table
just 10 more minutes, you don’t have to fret. I’m talking about a different
kind of multiplication.
Investment. Now there are a couple of you that just read the
words “investment” and “multiplication” and you’re thinking, “now that’s what
I’m talking about!” Sorry to disappoint, that’s not what I’m talking about.
I’m talking about Kingdom stuff. Stuff that a 100 years from
now, will actually matter. Stuff that if we were right minded, we would realize
is the only thing that matters, right now… I was asked some time back what I
thought about financially supporting a person that was going to be a field director
for a mission site over the summer. My immediate response, “YES!” Why was it such an easy
response? Those two words: Investment. Multiplication.
Because when I talk about those two words, or they come up in
conversation, you want to get as much as you possibly can out of what you put
in. You want to invest a little and hope to get a lot, and you want the
multiplication to be times more than two.
So what does Kingdom stuff and those two words have to do with
each other? Believe it or not, absolutely everything.
Imagine with me this little ball of snow. Its
rolling down a hill collecting even more snow and its goes from little to big. Every spin it gets bigger and bigger.
Then little pieces go flying off it and they start rolling and get bigger and
bigger as well. They keep rolling and rolling! Little pieces fly off them and start
rolling until the entire hill is covered with huge balls of snow rolling down
the hill.
You get it don’t you? That’s multiplication. What does that look in the Kingdom
though…
