A Gentle Reminder to the Gold Masters
Pastor Gideon Lee 12/28/2025 2 Cor. 8-9
What is the ultimate question of life?
- “What makes me happy, rich in life, and valuable in life? How do I get it?”
- Is there a god in this world?
- Atheist Gen X: What can I do if such an unpredictable tragedy as 911 happens to me before it happens?
- Theistic Gen X: What is my mission in life? What is my duty?
- Herod vs. Wise Men from the East à Gold’s Servant vs. Gold’s Master

- Giving is empathy (8:8-10).
How to give?

- Giving requires the selection of trustworthy agents with capability (8:16-24)
