I refuse to make my life about making money, and contrary to popular belief poor people are forced to spend a great deal of time thinking about money. I believe that my viewpoint is Biblical because JESUS said that the two masters are GOD and money.
Matthew 6:24
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
I have a foul taste in my mouth when I look at this monstrosity that people have created. Do you have any idea how many people assign there self worth to a job? People ask 'what do you do' and the reply is 'I'm a coal miner', 'or 'I am a banker' to which I think '-actually I was not asking about the system that you are a slave to...I want to know what motivates you...what causes you to keep sucking air?'
Recently I heared a conversation that spoke of how the grave robs so much, go to a cemitary how many unwritten books are there, how many uninvented inventions, how many uncomposed songs...?
While your on this side of eternity spend time pouring into other people, at the gym I explain to guys 'I am a Christian, and I am not of this world, but right now I am in this world and the stupid choices that you make effect me. Therefore I encourage you to start reading the Biblical book of Proverbs (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+1&version=VOICE)
You just cant tell people 'hey you, stop being stupid!' instead people need to be taught. That is why in my last post I posted a link to a video that can help re-educate folks.
This is the comment that I wrote to a buddy of mine:
-Please help me re-educate people concerning the christian heritage that this nation was built on...many people act like they can throw the Bible away but an understanding of Biblical truths is what is keeping this nation together...and if people think that our leaders are holding this nation together we will laugh at them!-
So below is an article that will cause people to consider 'hey maby going to a job and being a packmule is not all that there is to life'
Can I count on you to be a foot solider and help re-broadcast this type of message, I will be hard pressed to do much good if I work alone.
Thank You!
