Only God Can Accomplish Everything

March 2, 2010

By God’s grace our congregation is filled with those who long to work hard to the glory of God.  That being said, we’re all fallen and from time to time our hearts pursue our own ambitions rather than the Lord’s ambitions.  We need to be constantly reminded of how we are to work to the glory of God.  John Starke offers a wise reminder to us all on a Christian work ethic.  Here’s a portion of what he said:

  1. You cannot accomplish everything – only God can.
  2. The universe does not rely upon your accomplishments – only God’s.
  3. We are only the means to what God accomplishes, not the source.
  4. We are only the means to what God accomplishes, not the culmination of God’s accomplishments.

I would encourage you to read all of John’s post, and you can do so here.
