]]> Comment on How Not to Be Rich by jason.vandorsten http://724.restonbible.org/2008/06/how-not-to-be-rich/#comment-14 jason.vandorsten Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:01:29 +0000 http://724.restonbible.org/2008/06/how-not-to-be-rich/#comment-14 "Too many times I let convenience control my perspective and decisions, and even steal my joy and focus." "...only rich people are so bothered by being inconvenienced." Great points, very convicting. I love convenience and hate to be inconvenienced. Why? If I'm honest, it's because somewhere in my heart, I believe that whatever I am doing is more important that what someone (or anyone) else happens to be doing. Follow that to it's logical end and you see that it is really a devaluation of other people... and follow that trail even further, you cannot help but see that mindset is an expression of contempt toward the Father. All the more reason to give Paul's words to Timothy (1 Tim. 6) sober consideration - we must strive in our hearts and actions "to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life." “Too many times I let convenience control my perspective and decisions, and even steal my joy and focus.”

“…only rich people are so bothered by being inconvenienced.”

Great points, very convicting. I love convenience and hate to be inconvenienced. Why? If I’m honest, it’s because somewhere in my heart, I believe that whatever I am doing is more important that what someone (or anyone) else happens to be doing. Follow that to it’s logical end and you see that it is really a devaluation of other people… and follow that trail even further, you cannot help but see that mindset is an expression of contempt toward the Father.

All the more reason to give Paul’s words to Timothy (1 Tim. 6) sober consideration - we must strive in our hearts and actions “to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.”
