INSIGHT

Rewards Based on Faithfulness and Motive

God judges and rewards based on faithfulness, accuracy, and motivation, not the quantity of works.
Ordinary daily acts done rightly for God can earn rewards comparable to notable ministries like John MacArthur's.

ANECDOTE

John MacArthur's Last Shepherd's Conference

John MacArthur missed his own Shepherd's Conference for the first time in 40 years due to health.
Despite physical toll, he's on his "last lap" running the race for the Lord, modeling dying well.

ADVICE

Biblical Comfort for Mourning

Prepare to comfort mourners biblically by knowing when to speak, pray, or remain silent.
Grief is a burden to bear with others, not a problem to fix; allow Scripture to guide your comfort.
