What does it truly mean to be part of building God's kingdom? The answer might surprise you. This episode challenges the common misconception that God sits on His throne magically answering prayers at our demand. Instead, we explore how God works through people—His people—to accomplish His purposes.
The heart of today's message centers on the extraordinary life of R.G. LeTourneau, a 14-year-old school dropout who became one of history's most prolific inventors. With over 300 inventions including the bulldozer, scrapers, and the electric wheel, LeTourneau revolutionized construction worldwide. But what made him truly remarkable wasn't his mechanical genius—it was his unwavering commitment to being "a businessman for God." With Matthew 6:33 as his life verse, LeTourneau considered God the "chairman of the board" of his enterprises and channeled an astonishing 90% of his income into Christian ministry worldwide.
LeTourneau's story challenges us to reconsider our unique roles in God's kingdom. Not everyone is called to be a pastor or missionary, but we can all participate in kingdom-building through our support. Whether you contribute time, talent, or treasure, you become the fuel that empowers ministry to continue. As LeTourneau often said, "You will never know what you can accomplish until you say a great big yes to the Lord." What might happen if you said yes today?
