Willing

Exodus 36:6-7
Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: "No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary." And so the people were restrained from bringing more, because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work.

Building a sanctuary, or even a building, is a huge undertaking! Moses had the Isrealites giving their finest to him so that the sanctuary could be built in God's name. After they started collecting, there was just too much stuff, so Moses had to tell the people to stop bringing items. How wonderful to be so on fire for the Lord that you just want to give up everything you have all for the Lord.

Are we as a church today THAT on fire for the Lord? Would we give up our finest to build a church, go reach out to the lost, save a soul?

Would you be willing to give up the best thing you own for the church? Your car? Your laptop? Your education? Your life?
