Last Night's Message
Personally, I thought Steve did a great job last night-- one of the best messages I've ever heard him preach. But that's not the point of this blog, so let's move on...
The point is I wanna talk about the series. There's a grip of folks that have decided to memorize James (that's right, the whole darn thing) but what good is head knowledge if we don't understand it in our heart, right? So I want to discuss the series as we move through it. So, this week's question (that I would LOVE responses to) is this:
Last night, Steve gave us some great practical suggestions on how to prevent ourselves from boasting in or relying on (to any extent) earthly wealth and success. He suggested, among other things, that we live below our means, remind ourselves that everything we have comes from God, and not insist on getting our way all the time. What about you? What are the things that keep you from leaning on or trusting in earthly wealth and success? Looking for very practical suggestions here...

Honestly.....by staying in The Word daily. Solomon is constantly reminding me in Proverbs to keep my focus on heavenly treasures like wisdom, understanding, and discernment instead of earthly things like money, riches, and people's acceptance. Jesus is a perfect model for us and we should listen to all that He said to His disciples in The New Testament about leaving their families, households, and selling all of their belongings to follow him. Keeping my focos on Christ is the key for me.
