Living To Give Sermon by Richard Schwedes, 1 Peter - theranchhands.com
It seems the people who were living in the house were only the tenants. They had no right to allow the property to be destroyed as the cameras rolled. We make decisions about the resources God has given us to use and care for without first listening to him. What it does mean is that we are to use what he has given us is to glorify God in our families, work, social lives. In other words next time you are out with friends ask How can I give God the glory as I socialise with my friends? Let us hear again the words of 1 Peter 4 , verse Something to think about, how are we living our lives and using our resources differently from our friends and family who are not Christians?

He helps his readers find out what their spiritual gifts are. He continues to use the idea of the lunch to teach several spiritual lessons. He has the knack of telling a very interesting story then associating a truth lesson with it.
For example, oven baked, Chicago style pizza can take forty-five minutes to bake. But, "Like many good things, it's worth the wait. Like planting a garden, results might not come for months. Austin declares, "Nothing beats living this way! Nothing we could eat, drink, buy, play, watch, or win in life can compare to the feeling of giving ourselves away Austins gives man examples of young people who are giving their lives away.
He relates stories of Bible characters. And he adds just the right amount of humor. There are discussion questions at the end of each chapter so this would be a perfect book for a group study. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the LitFuse Publicity Group for the purpose of this review.
LIVING TO GIVE – JAMIE BENN & TYLER SEGUIN
Recently I've been meeting with a young man, and we've been talking about how God uses us, our gifts, and even our finances to help others for His glory. I gave him a copy of the book the God Pocket by Bruce Wilkinson that has an extremely practical way that we can purposively live this out.
Gutwein is the exact same age as the young man I've been meeting with, 18, and the author has wisdom far beyond his years. It's amazing that God chose this young man when he was only nine to change the lives of thousands in Africa through a ministry he formed called Hoops for Hope. And he's been building clinics, schools, and feeding the hungry there ever since. Live to Give is all about how God uses what we have to help others. One of the biggest things I took away from the book was Gutwein's illustration of the young boy who brought the loaves and fishes that Jesus used to feed the five thousand.
The disciples went all through the crowd to see what food was available, and this was the only person who remembered to bring his lunch, and he gave it up to Jesus. Likewise we might be the only person in the crowd who has what God wants to use to help the multitude. Are we willing to give it up to Him? I'd highly recommend this book. I received a copy of this book free from the publisher for review. This review was originally published on Manifest Blog. This was a very inspiring book.
Most of the time while I was reading it I forgot how young the author is. He has a very mature way of writing. Then there were times that he would say something that would "snap" me back to reality and I'd realize just how young he was. It was amazing to read his story. To think, someone so young has done something so fantastic with his life already! Just imagine all the amazing things he's yet to accomplish. I liked that the message focused on the little boy who gives his lunch to Jesus, and Jesus performs a miracle using that boy's lunch.
This boy and his seemengly meager lunch was used to feed thousands of people! While it's a story we're all familiar with I'd never really focused that much attention to it. Gutwein shows how something so simple can become something much more significant if we allow ourselves to give our gifts to God. This book was so well written, as I said earlier I kept forgetting how young the author is. But I think his youth is what makes this book so enjoyable. He's so enthusiastic about his message - the kind of enthusiasm children often have about everything.
Not only does his enthusiasm show through but he's able to take the concepts he's trying to convey and make them so simple. I know this book is geared towards children, teens, and young adults but I think the message is one what we all can benefit from. As we get older I think we tend to feel as if we don't have anything left to contribute or that our gifts aren't as "strong" as they were when we were young and we had the enthusiasm and energy we used to have.
But through Gutwein's words I realized that as long as I give my gifts - no matter how insignificant I may think they are - that they can be used to do something wonderful. My gifts can be a miracle for someone else.
This was an amazing book with a awesome message. Not only is this book very encouraging it is also is energizing. It made me really look at my life and start working on some of my gifts so that I can start to help others with them. I've already got a few small projects ready to go! See all 16 reviews.
