When I first came into ministry many years ago now, Julie and I realized that the only way we could train in the Bible College was to sell everything we owned except our car and our children (actually our children already belonged to God, so they didn’t come into the equation). There was no Government assistance for study in those times and so we needed to sell our house in order to live for 2 years as I trained full-time in Theological College. I can remember that we were excited about doing this. We still didn’t have enough to live on for all of this time, but God provided more than enough for us. Although it was a sacrifice, it was also an honour to be serving God in this way.
In Exodus 25, the people of God are asked to make a sacrifice. He’ll ask the same of you!
