“SDG” (“Soli Deo Gloria”) Sticker
“SDG” stands for the Reformation Phrase, “Soli Deo Gloria” meaning “Glory to God Alone”.
Colossians 3:17:
“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
J.C. Ryle on glorifying God with our lives:
“We have all talents in God’s sight…. Anything whereby we may glorify God is a talent, our gifts, our influence, our money, our knowledge, our health, our strength, our time, our senses, our reason, our intellect, our memory, our affections, our privileges as members of Christ’s Church, our advantages as possessors of the Bible, —all, all are talents. Whence came these things? What hand bestowed them? Why are we what we are? Why are we not the worms that crawl on the earth? There is only one answer to these questions. All that we have is a loan from God. We are God’s stewards.”

I hope this serves as a reminder of why you’ve been given the life you have, the privilege and gift it is that we are included in the work of the Father. And hey—you just might get to explain the acronym along the way like our friend did—I doubt many people outside of our niche little community know what SDG means (or Soli Deo Gloria, for that matter). Here’s to living to God’s glory in all we do!
