Pride and Money

Luke 12:15, 21:1-4

The Bible teaches that if we are not careful, money can make slaves of us. Ways we can become slaves to wealth are greed and debt. More subtle ways are discontent and false expectations. We compare what we have with what others have. The vicious cycle never ends. No one wins the comparison game. 


Questions for further thought:
1. How much do you take pride in your stuff?

2. Do you take pride in giving it away?  


​Challenge: Taking pride in our stuff is only valuable if we are willing to give it up to benefit others. Do you give out of sacrifice or surplus? Do you let your neighbor borrow your best power tools and household goods or hoard them for yourself?
