Are you successful?

Are you hopeless or hopeful?  Are you destitute or prosperous?

God wants to see his children flourish, but be careful, friends.  "For the love of money is the root of all evil." - 1Timothy 6:10

The pursuit of wealth is a dangerous path for Christians, and God warns us in the Bible.  He wants us to be prosperous, but not to keep it to ourselves.  He wants us to share it with others.  And not only money, but share our time.

In the past, I admit, I have been selfish with my money.  But, I can honestly say that since I started tithing, my first fruits, I have never been better off financially.  I'm not wealthy beyond any means, financially, but I'm wealthy in my love for God.  I yearn to give my money, my time to others.

I went on my first mission trip this year and it brought all of this more visible to me.  What is life about, but to live for Christ, give to others.

Give your time; give your money to those in need.  You'll be better off in every way.  Try it!

Joshua 1:8 - "Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.  Then you will be prosperous and successful."
