| I will never forget the day that my
| |
| | who spin it the other way around, as if
|
| daughter's sixth grade friend told me
| |
| | God don't like poor people. They act
|
| that. We had been discussing someone who
| |
| | like they're closer to God because they
|
| had recently lost a fortune and had
| |
| | have money. Funny thing money, it can
|
| become very bitter as a result. She
| |
| | buy a lot of things, but I was under the
|
| suddenly piped up with that all knowing
| |
| | impression that God wasn't for sale.
|
| scowl that only a twelve year old girl
| |
| | Rumor has it that some churches and
|
| can truly master while proclaiming, "God
| |
| | individual clergy can be bought, but not
|
| don't like rich people!" She said it as
| |
| | God Himself. Nowhere in the bible did I
|
| if it was a mortal sin worthy of an
| |
| | ever read that you could bypass the rules
|
| eternity in hell. She immediately made a
| |
| | and just pay an entrance fee to get into
|
| snap decision from that point forward to
| |
| | heaven's gates.
|
| dislike the person we'd been talking
| |
| | I thought that money was a tool sometimes
|
| about. I've met her dad. He's a nice
| |
| | used for testing us. Do we remain
|
| enough guy and from what I can tell, he
| |
| | spiritual while humbled and poor or do we
|
| agrees with his daughter. They are very
| |
| | become bitter and turn our back on God?
|
| regular attendees at their church. I
| |
| | Do we remain spiritual while spoiled and
|
| don't know what church they go to, but
| |
| | rich or do we become self righteous and
|
| all I could think to myself at the time
| |
| | turn our back on God? And what about the
|
| was, "Who in the world is teaching her
| |
| | way we treat each other? Does the amount
|
| that!?"
| |
| | of money we have dictate how much love we
|
| For my daughter's sake, I bit my tongue.
| |
| | are to receive from each other?
|
| I wanted so badly to quiz her friend and
| |
| | "Congratulations on that job promotion
|
| find out the roots of that belief system.
| |
| | you worked so hard for, buddy! But hey,
|
| How does one logically come to that
| |
| | you're too rich now, so me and God aren't
|
| conclusion? I was under the impression
| |
| | going to hang out with you anymore."
|
| that God was known to shower you with
| |
| | What a silly concept that money would
|
| riches if he liked you. Solomon was
| |
| | have anything to do with one's spiritual
|
| extremely rich and God liked him. I
| |
| | self-worth. I'm sorry for those children
|
| thought that God's opinion of us had more
| |
| | who have been raised to believe that the
|
| to do with our character, not our bank
| |
| | amount of money they do or do not have
|
| account. I could even see that how you
| |
| | dictates whether or not God will like
|
| amassed your fortune could be important
| |
| | them. Personally, I've raised my kids on
|
| in God's viewpoint. I think about Job
| |
| | the idea that you behave yourself as best
|
| and how he was tested to see if money was
| |
| | you can, and I do mean 'best.' Heed your
|
| the reason for his devotion to God. Upon
| |
| | spiritual calling. Love one another.
|
| passing the test, didn't God dump piles
| |
| | Everything else will fall into place as
|
| of money back into his lap again? And
| |
| | it's meant to be. Oh, and be thankful
|
| what about the father in the prodigal son
| |
| | for what you have. God don't like people
|
| story? He had money and God liked him.
| |
| | with bad manners.
|
| Just as ridiculous to me are the people
| |
| |
