Reflections: June 21, 2009

This week's "Reflection" by Gary Keith, Executive & Teaching Pastor


Today in week 10 of our study through the book of James, we were challenged in the use of our wealth. How timely! With the reality that many in our nation have literally lost their wealth, this recession is changing America. Gone are the days when people would flaunt their wealth as a badge of honor. Today, living in a recessionary time with high unemployment, flaunting your wealth is less acceptable. Many people are changing their attitude toward money and from what I can see, that is a good thing.
 
Regardless of whether we feel it or not, we are still a wealthy people.  When we who live in this Southern California lifestyle with all its pressures can stop for a moment and gain a little perspective, I think we would appreciate more the fact that we are wealthy. Given what James said about the misuse and abuse of wealth what do you see yourself doing differently after listening to this weekend's message? Which of the four corrections from James is something you will consider working on this week?
