John 16:12-13

“I still have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of Truth has come, He will guide you into all truth… and tell you things to come.”

As a Christ follower, our pursuit should be less about knowing more (leave that to God), and more about being faithful with what we know.

“Influence people with everything you've been given in life, and when they come to realize that everything in this life will fail them, (including you),they may look to your witness about Jesus for answers.”

Luke 16:9- Paraphrase

“Therefore, if you haven’t been a good witness with your money, your career or lifestyle choices, will God entrust you with the hearts of people?”

Luke 16:11- Paraphrase
