“Work heartily, as for the Lord…” (Colossians 3:23).  It is God honoring to work for a paycheck and support yourself and dependents in doing so (see 2 Thess 3:10; 1 Tim 5:8).  But when we gain our eternal inheritance as the Lord’s workers, our “earthly gain” will be left behind—will it continue serving the Lord’s work and gospel mission?  If you invest in things that facilitate ministry beyond yourself, that earthly income can continue to produce eternal fruit.  Our upcoming facilities improvements will be just that sort of investment, pray many will catch that vision for the future!
