Affluenza: Giving it All Away
Last week, we looked at how Aflluenza attempts to make our human value about beauty, achievement and power. It robs us of the value that God has placed on every human life (equally) and creates a caste system based on societies values.
This week, we will look at how Affluenza tempts us to take credit for all that we have rather than giving honor to the Creator. When we believe that we are the source of our stuff, we believe that our stuff’s purpose is the building of “our kingdom”. When I acknowledge that I am a steward of my Creator’s stuff, I see it’s purpose for the building of “His Kingdom”.
While we are on topic here…what item have you had in your house/garage for over a year, that is not yours but you have intended to return to it’s rightful owner. Confession time, anyone?

Well, I have a crude Dvd of a friend of mine’s, that definetly needs to go back, and then I just borrowed a Spiritual Leadership book from a pastor friend of mine yesterday, so I’m going to take my time reading this one. Does borrowing music and then putting it on itunes count? Or is that stealing? Dang it! Afluenza isn’t my only problem! Please pray for me…

OK – I had it up to here with Verizon. So I am moving telephone and high speed over to Comcast, As a result, I am without wireless access until Tuesday. So I am “borrowing” my neighbors wireless until Tuesday. I hope they don’t mind
– they should be using WEP. FYI my email is changing (had that one for 8 years) – it is the same except change it to @comcast.net.
