# Job Offer - All of us regularly receive junk snail mail and email with all sorts of offers. - What if one day, you received another offer that again, seemed too good to be true?  This one was an offer for a “side job” that promised astronomical income.  Sound familiar?  If you are like me, you wish your spam filter would catch more junk before it makes it into your inbox.  If it made it past the filter, I probably would delete it without reading. - Here is the job offer: - Pay:  Ten million dollars per project - Project length:  Some only take a few minutes.  (Some take much longer.) - Duties:  Solder in the King’s army - Contract details: - No pay until retirement - Interest paid on funds in retirement account - Account value guaranteed to never decrease - Bottom-line, this is a job to build your retirement account.  - If you received a job offer like this, would you act on it? ## Some thoughts: - Since the side job doesn’t pay anything until retirement - Would you keep your “day job”? - If you quit your day job, how would you eat or make your housing payment or pay for gas for your car? - If you kept your “day job”, how would you balance your time? - Would you work most of the time at your day job so you could have a nice house and a nice car, etc? - Or would you only do the "minimum" at your day job and "invest" the rest of your time in the "opportunity?" (After all, if the minimum was good enough it wouldn't be the minimum!) - What about church, family, friends, leisure? - What does it mean to be a “solder in the King’s army”? - What would I have to do? - Will it be safe? - Will it hurt? --- #### Outbound Links - Bible - Topics - [[Reward]] - [[TOPICS/Journal]] - [[King]] - [[Army]] - Words - Other
