Freely Ye Have Received, Freely Give
By A.B. Simpson0ISA 58:10MAT 5:16MAT 10:8LUK 12:48JHN 7:38ACT 20:35ROM 12:132CO 1:4GAL 6:21PE 4:10A.B. Simpson emphasizes the responsibility of believers to share the blessings they have received from God, highlighting that every special revelation or healing is a sacred trust meant to be communicated to others. He encourages Christians to act as trustees of God's grace, sharing their experiences of sanctification, healing, and hope in the Lord's coming with those around them. Simpson warns against the ingratitude of keeping these truths to oneself, urging believers to influence a wider circle with the blessings they have freely received.
Responsibility for What We Have (Luke 16:29,31)
By T. Austin-Sparks0LUK 16:29T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the theme of responsibility in his sermon based on Luke 16:29,31, illustrating the contrast between the rich man and the poor man. He argues that the rich man symbolizes those who have access to spiritual wealth yet remain complacent and fail to share their blessings with others in need. The sermon challenges listeners to reflect on how they utilize the divine resources available to them and whether they are growing spiritually or merely accumulating knowledge. Sparks warns that with great spiritual provision comes great responsibility, and our actions will have eternal consequences. Ultimately, he calls for a deeper engagement with God's resources that enriches not only ourselves but also those around us.
