=========================== TODAY'S ARTICLE ==========================
True Freedom?, by Paul Faulkner
I don't know about you, but I have a whole bunch of motors out in my
garage -- a lawnmower and an edger and hedge clippers and a trimmer,
along with a bunch of other stuff. And they all get together on
Saturday morning when the weather is good and decide to give me a
workout. They work me over! In fact, my whole house will do that --
painting and changing filters and fixing faucets and getting the spots
out of the rug.
I've learned that beyond a comfortable style of living, the more
material things you have, the less freedom you've got. The house and
tools and stuff are using me, instead of me using them!
Jesus didn't have much but a robe.
Jesus didn't have much but a robe. Seems to be telling me that it's not
things, it's people that count. Aren't you beginning to get the same
point?
No wonder Jesus warned us, "Take care! Be on your guard against all
kinds of greed; for one's life does not consist in the abundance of
possessions" (Luke 12:15 NRS).
