Paul hit the nail on the head when he spoke the following passage. He had owned the seat of respect and power and willingly gave it up when he discovered the truth. In the parable of the pearl, Jesus spoke of a man who found a pearl of great price (Matt 13:45) whose value was so great that he went and sold all that he had to purchase it. That man's possessions and position were meaningless in that moment even though he had worked so hard to attain them ... that is what the truth does. It sheds light on our priorities. Paul figured this out ... so should we ... and if we do ... we will also find true joy in what others may see as insanity and a waste of time ....

This Little Light of Mine ...
Hey!!! This is Pat Hazard ( of www.chrisasksthehaz.com )!!! I will be sharing the outlines for various sermons I have written. Feel free to make good use of them as you best see fit. I believe they are excellent, factually and fundamentally correct sources of information that can be used for formal sermons (as I use them for) or for personal study (even better)... I would not offer them otherwise.
I hope this is of some assistance to you in your efforts to grow closer in the Lord. He loves us intimately and individually ... and what a great love He loves us with.
