How do you see your life? What images come to mind?

Let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind

Life on earth is a Test

Trials, temptations, refining, and testing occurs over 200x in the Bible

Success:

• Abraham - offering his son
• Jacob - working for Rachael
• ...and many others

Failed:

• Adam and Eve - failed when tempted
• David - failed several times
• ...and many others

Your realize that nothing is insignificant, tested by:

• Major changes
• Delayed promises
• Impossible problems
• Unanswered prayer
• Undeserved criticism

God wants you to pass - James 1:2-3

 
Life on earth is a Trust
 
God loans you the earth, we never really own anything

Want to hear: "Well done, good and faithful servant"

God uses finances: As a test (in good times) and a trust (hard times)
