Happy Birthday, Kelly!
I know you guys are anxious to get through Proverbs, but we're on chapter 30 today and finish tomorrow. Genesis 1 for Easter Sunday.
What if every Christian on the planet lived within these bounds:
"Give me enough food to live on, neither too much nor too little.
If I'm too full, I might get independent, saying, 'God? Who needs him?'
If I'm poor, I might steal and dishonor the name of my God."
If we had too much, we would give it away, but if we were struggling, we could rely on the plenty of others to get by...or is that too much like socialism? Marcus and Jordan, isn't this the essence of stewardship?
Our free enterprise system is based on the fact that we will strive to get more and more, but what if the more and more we were getting was for God and not ourselves? Would we still work as hard. Why not?
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven...
