You will spend 12, maybe 20 years learning how to make it - I’ve spent 52 years spending it. Most of us work 40-60 hours a week to make more of it. We talk about it, discuss it, day dream of having more of it, and get mad when our government spends it on someone other than us. We spend it, give it, scheme to get more of it, and envy those who have lots of it. It’s divisive - it’s the #1 reason we leave our spouse, it breaks up friends, businesses, governments and families. Loss of it has led to suicides. Obsession with it has caused crime, and lack of it brings on nightmares. God calls it a root of all kinds of evil, and yet it remains a means of great good. I’m told there are over 2000 Biblical passages about it, and 2/3’s of Christ’s parables deal with it. At Cottonwood - there is no more ignoring it.
We start our 4 week sermon series Finding Financial Freedom this Sunday. Also, check out our upcoming 5-week Financial Freedom Workshop. Details are at http://cottonwoodff.vpweb.com/
(The general idea for this blog was taken from a Hybels sermon - I hope he doesn’t mind. It's flattery, right?)
