Policing Your Motives
Being useful in the spiritual lives of God’s people is aided by hard work and generosity, and is thwarted by cravings for wealth and the trappings of worldly success.
Greed
Marriage as a Monetary Test Case
We must realize that the gravity associated with lust, adultery, and divorce in the Bible is an apt parallel to God’s concern regarding greed, covetousness, and materialism in our hearts and lives.
Godliness, Greed & God’s Word
We cannot allow ourselves to chase the world’s materialistic symbols of success, knowing they are meaningless and can deceive us into thinking we are doing well in life when we are in fact storing up wrath for ourselves.
The Fear of Having Nothing
We must spend no time or energy worrying about what we need, instead we should work diligently to advance his cause in this world trusting that he will adequately provide all that we might need.
The Chronic Noise of the World
Those with real saving faith will, by God’s grace, be occupied with growing in their relationship with Christ without becoming preoccupied with the futile things this world has to offer.
A Map for Mountain Climbers
Closeness with God is more than being saved, it is a relational intimacy that grows as we learn to love and increasingly practice what is good, right and holy.
Finding Peace in the Storm of Materialism
God would have us work hard and accept our lot in life, pursing contentment not wealth, focusing on him while we enjoy the temporal blessings he provides.
When the Grass Looks Greener
Work at pleasing God where you’re at, knowing that God has you where he has you for a reason.
A Craving for Money
Craving more money is sin, therefore we must learn to be content and even generous with what we have.
