Consumerism can relate to an unhealthy value of money. Money can lead to an unwise submission to temptation. Temptation can lead to justification, which can lead to perpetual sin.
“If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs” (ESV Bible, 2001, 1 Timothy 6:3-10).
Considering that for most of us, money is essential, we must grapple with the way we value money. We must place value in service prior to compensation. For what sort of compensation comes without service?
We pray that our message today has encouraged you and that you will seek the Bible more fervently than ever. Blessing to you our brothers and sisters.
Stress is not the goal, be well.
— Daniel Miller, Ed.S., C.S.C.S.
