Preparation for the Service Unser Herr lebt, Issue 42, 2016 Gotthold Beck
In this article, I would like to discuss the preparation required to serve the Lord. “The one with two talents also came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two talents. See, I’ve earned two more talents.’ His master told him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you have been trustworthy with a small amount, I will put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master’s joy!’” (Matthew 25:22-23, International Standard Version). “Tychicus, our dear brother and a faithful minister in service to the Lord” (Ephesians 6:21). It is an unignorable fact that some believers of Jesus Christ, while claiming that they are serving God, actually work for their own purposes and serve God in a worldly manner.
