Reflections of my message today at NRN - July 7 2013

Today, I continued in the current teaching series:

 

with a message about:

 

MONOPOLY

 

What Does the Bible Teach about Material Possessions?

 

The Paradox of Our Time in History

 is that ...

we spend more, but have less;  
we buy more, but enjoy it less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families;

more conveniences, but less time;
more medicine, but less wellness.

We read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

These are the times of tall men, and short character;

 steep profits, and shallow relationships.

 These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce;

of fancier houses, but broken homes.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life;
we've added years to life, not life to years;
we've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul
