Believers in the race of life need to come to grips with money. Many of us grip our pocketbooks until our knuckles turn white. Yet God wants us to know the joy of generosity.

Christians running the race of life frequently get tripped up by matters of money. Whose money is it really? Is it mine to do with as I please, or am I just taking care of it for someone else? Christ had much to say about money!

For every Olympic track star, thousands of runners will never make the team. But that’s no reason to give up. Many believers with few talents approach life with a clenched fist rather than an open hand. In this message we see why God prefers the latter.

Although we’re not equal in abilities, we are equal in our obligation to use our abilities wisely. In Bible times, a talent was a large sum of money. Today it signifies an ability. Either way, the parable of the talents shows us how to manage what we have.

We’re all given gifts and abilities. It’s not how many we have, but how we use them, that determines the outcome of our lives. Rather than complain about what we don’t have, let’s focus today on how to best use what we’ve been given.

As believers, how we use our time determines our effectiveness for God. At the end of this life, we’ll be judged by our deeds. So we should be mindful of how we spend the minutes, days, and years that we have on this earth.

Time is a vital, non-renewable resource. Like a coin, it can only be spent once. For the Christian, our minutes are not our own. They belong to Christ, the Lord of our time. Are you spending your time wisely?

When running life’s race, the clock is relentless. Once gone, time cannot be reclaimed. The Bible teaches believers to be redeeming the time, for the days are evil. Time must be used wisely every day.

Today’s church is rich in wealth, but poor in spiritual power. That’s the same indictment handed down by Jesus to the ancient church at Laodicea. He may have had our day in mind when He said, Because you say I’m rich’ you don’t know that you’re wretched, miserable, blind and naked.

Jesus had strong words for the lukewarm Laodicean church in Revelation chapter three. His tough love included a way for them to regain their lost fervor. His rebuke and chastening would lead to renewal and power.
