Resources
Our greatest and primary resources are spiritual. We seek to live by the NT claim that our primary resources are spiritual and come from God through his appointed means. Prayer and promises are two that dominate in scripture and these have created many testimonies throughout the ages. Pascal said, “God has dignified the believer by allowing him to participate in changing the world through prayer.” God’s promises are staggering, motivating and dependable. Entire nations have been changed through prayer and promises acquired through faith. These range from prayer to obedience, from worship to suffering, but always have Christ at the center, in whom all God’s promises are “yes.” We cannot ignore our physical needs, and without the cooperation of SBC giving sacrificially, we cannot participate in expanding the kingdom of God, but we will keep every need in Biblical perspective as we rely on God for the great resources granted to all of God’s children.
