You and I, we must learn to live on earth with an eternal perspective in mind.

Dr. Tony Evans says there's an everlasting value to long-term thinking.

Everything you do as much as you can, you attach the spiritual to it.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

Doing good is, well, good. But doing good merely for the sake of doing good only produces temporary results.

Making a lasting impact starts with a different perspective,

one that Dr. Evans tells us about as he begins today's lesson in Luke 16-1.

Let's join him.

When my son Jonathan was small and we launched our basketball league here,

I would take him to the basketball games. He was just kind of really learning the

art of playing basketball. And on one occasion, I went to one of his early games. They were at

midcourt. The other team had the ball, and they were passing it, and he came between the two men on the other team and the ball, and he stole the ball.

He then dribbled and went up for a lay-up to score two points.

The only problem was it was in the wrong basket. He scored points that the

other team got credit for because while he worked hard, he wound up in the wrong place.

Many of God's children are on the team, but they're shooting in the wrong basket.

They may even work hard and be busy as spiritual bumblebees.

But when it comes time to scoring, they're winding up scoring for the enemy and not for the kingdom of God.

That is because far too many of God's people do not understand the principle of kingdom stewardship.

Let's review.

A kingdom steward is a Christian who faithfully oversees protecting and expanding the assets,

time, talents, and treasures that God has entrusted to them to manage on his behalf.
