Taking Up Your Cross
To surrender to the King of Heaven is to give up this world.

Hi, this is Dave Scherrerrer, and you found the podcast environment of 100 Full Ministries we call it Kingdom Offerings. And today, I'm wondering whether or not you remember from quite a ways back, if you're probably, I don't know, 30 or younger, you might not remember this, but there used to be some Charlie Brown cartoons on TV. And when Charlie Brown's teacher started talking to her class, the sound of her voice sounded something like this. So I'm telling you, Charlie Brown's teacher kind of had it rough.
All anyone ever heard was wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, and poor Peppermint Patty, she just couldn't keep awake. She would fall asleep at her desk, and her head would fall forward, and her head would fall back, and poor Charlie Brown was so scared for her. We laugh because we identify with the Charlie Brown person. We laugh because too many of our teachers sounded like wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.

Our acts of kindness, done in the name of Jesus, with the purpose of serving and blessing others also serve to lay aside treasures in heaven that glorify and exalt our King. This constitutes the kingdom coming on earth as it is in heaven - we become the answer to the Lord’s prayer.
God's economy of spiritual profit, which He's interested in, is not based on anything that has a worldly value associated with it.
