Sincerity is not Sufficiency 1

Sincerity is not sufficiency.

We have a heart for the lost.

We want to reach the unreached peoples living in North America–and the rest of the world.

We need to be students of the Word.

We need to walk in step with the Spirit.

We have a heart for the poor.

Great!  Sincerity is a start, but only a start.  It is not sufficient to carry you through the race and across the finish line.

Convictions, passions, interests, and feelings are important.  But, what is your church, agency, or network doing to act upon these desires (assuming they are desires and not lip service)?  The psalmist writes, “The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip” (Psalm 37:31, ESV), leading us to know that the righteous person (v. 30) is a man of both right desire and right action.

If we sat down and had a conversation with your strategy, calendar, budget, and weekly activities what would they say?

Sufficiency needs sincerity.  Just don’t be fooled into thinking that sincerity is sufficiency.  The four billion remain. The Day approaches.
