Is there a Recession Coming? We need to look at our life, before its too late!!!
Is there a Recession Coming?
We need to look at our life and assess our life and lifestyle and see if
#1 are we glorifying G-D
#2 Is our life and our home filled with material overload
#3 Put feet and life to action, to serve G-D and others.
Years ago, I belonged to a congregation that for some unknown reason, decided one Sunday to have a "bring to church stuff out of your closets/storerooms and give it away”. It was phenomenal it became a monthly event. People that had needs had their needs met!!!
Many people become short-term and long-term homeless because they do not keep their spending in check. People who use to be dirt poor and now are well off find themselves caught in this trap of spend, spend, and spend. When you get used to having money it just seems to roll right out of the wallet without nearly a thought and the ole plastic card help us dig an early financial grave.
What I have been saying is not new or rocket science; yet year after year more and more people find themselves losing their home and become the homeless people that they made fun of.
It does not take much to become homeless. You over spend; you lose your mate either through death or divorce, medical problems, etc.
In my blog “Thrifty Living in Carolina and Beyond™”, I write on how to have a thrifty life that may not keep you from being homeless but may place you on better financial footing then most people.
The western world seems to think that we own the right to live as rich and spending as possible. Most believers’ today think that a rich believer is a godly believer. In addition, vice-versa if you r are poor you are ungodly, nothing is farther from the truth.
We have allowed the rich TV evangelist to pollute the Gospel of G-D It all stated with “Revered Ike” we all laughed years ago about his “Green Power” we all marginalized him and his theology but look at Benny Hinn. I remember when Benny was doing his auditorium shows but look at Benny now!!! Benny at one time was very personable and friendly but now he is too busy to stop and talk. His show has taken over his life. Now his messages as well as most of the other Tele-evangelist etc. have made The G-D of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob into a vending machine G-D™ (Word coined by Rabbi Dale ©1972 All Rights Reserved)
I remember when G-D’s name used to be G-D now its Prosperity and keeping up with the Joneses, is it not???
Its time to take back the theology of believer’s and become more like St. Francis. We have lost the quietness of G-D’s power with the noisy jumping church that is too buzy making money, allowing the government to rule over the church *If you do not believe that try to have a Shul/church and have to deal with the IRS etc.
We have to stop and look at the suffering servant we all need to be servants of G-D. When G-D allows us to have cash flow its not to bless yourself but rather to bless others. We should not have a house and car that is paid for, but like Jay Leno and his fleet of cars, that is not G-D’s way.
The bottom-line is that we need to quench or thirst on material stuff and have a quench to live fully for G-D and to help others and then our reward, which is in Heaven we will get.
Today assess your life with your family and reach out to others that have needs and bless them.
If your church is not a service to G-D and service to others Church then you need to find one that is.
More next time, this is Rabbi Dale, Shalom™
