LUKE 16

 Money!  First I watch a clip on how George Bailey gave up his own money to save his business.  Then Jesus says you can't serve both God and money.

He says to use it to make friends, to store up eternal treasures, to help the poor - money was never meant to be something to get stuff for yourself.  I guess it's like everything else - the more you let it use you the worse your life becomes.  So, why do we care so much about it?

When I didn't have a lot of money, I worried constantly about how much things cost and how much we would spend.  Now that we have some money, I worry about losing it or using it wisely.  It doesn't factor as much into every decision I make, but it's still a factor.

What if I was the same way with God?  What would You want me to do?  What if I least factored You into every decision - if it was like a cloud hovering over me, and somewhere in me there was always this thought, "What would God want me to do?"

I feel like my life would be better.

SIDE NOTE:  A lot of "Christians" are really concerned about the gay thing.  Jesus never said anything about it.  No one cares about divorce and Jesus specifically said you shouldn't get divorced.  Interesting.
