More Than Enough

And he said to them, "Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possession...Luke 12:15 NRSV

The riches of this world are vain, they vanish in a day; But sweet the treasures of God's love--they never pass away...Bosch

Why the obsession with aquiring, consuming and hoarding? Do you choose to live assuming scarcity or abundance? Your choice is an issue of the soul and lives of others hang in the balance.
What is your reality?

FORGIVEN

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2 Corinthians 5:17

We serve a great and loving God whose offer of grace and forgiveness creates new hope and new life. We come to learn that His love is endless and His faithfulness in care for us is grounded in truth exampled and proclaimed by countless witnesses. Even when we walk way from God, He continues to reach out with His offer of new beginnings.

As we are forgiven...let us forgive!

Where are you stuck with forgiveness? What event, person or idea creates the problem?

Forgiveness is constructive as we travel the journey to Christian perfection...
