Giving: Your Talent

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with Whom there is no variation or shadow...

James 1:17 (ESV)

Do not neglect the gift you have…

1 Timothy 4:14 (ESV)

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:10 (ESV)

Dear actors, models, and talent for Christ!

If God made us and loves us intensely, if Eve got fooled and Adam followed her,

  • If Satan began a reign of terror,

  • If Jesus came to Earth to rescue us,

  • If He healed, taught, saved, and empowered us

  • If He gave us new lives and jobs to do,

  • If He is, for a time, back in Heaven...

If God gives every good and perfect gift, if talent is a valuable gift,

  • If talents were once a measure of wealth,

  • If two thousand years shifted their meaning,

  • If talents are still thought valuable,

  • If talented stars are celebrities,

  • If the Father of lights planned for this shift...

Then you were made for a time such as this!

If deep darkness now covers the people, if deceit is spun on a worldwide web,

  • If wrong seems right and right seems old-fashioned,

  • If reality TV isn't real,

  • If lawless bad guys look like heroes.

  • If games of thrones are what we're all about,

  • If media is teaching our children...

If children are baited and hooked like fish, if children are bought and sold as victims,

  • If parents are too busy to notice,

  • If parents are merchandised (like their kids),

  • If people are hurting and don't know why,

  • If they're hungry without the Bread of life,

  • If YOU carry His Bread and His talent...

Then you are feeders and fishers of men.

So rise and shine with these great gifts from God!

  • Plant them in the fields of entertainment.

  • Grow them up high for the glory of God.

  • Show the world something it hasn’t yet seen:

  • Something new, exciting, and wonderful!

  • Share the Truth as Good News without judgment.

Because when you multiply God's talents, the you fulfill your King’s Great Commission.

Giving: Your Talent (Part 13)

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
