In every human heart, there's a desire to be fully satisfied, and in that desperation for satisfaction, we consume things which do not satisfy. We consume because it's gratifying, but it never really satisfies. Naturally, we believe the needs of one, outweigh the needs of many. We see all of our resources as a means to our own end, therefore spending thousands of dollars a year on things that we want, as opposed to things we need, leaving little room to save, and more importantly, give. The Bible calls this behavior foolish.
This week, Pastor Copper shares the hope through Christ that we have as the only true satisfier. He also explains how Christians ought to live and steward our finances. For both the believer and nonbeliever, he leaves us with practical steps to begin taking control of our finances, and saving, and asks us to imagine what it would look like if we never again bowed to our consumption.
Proverbs 21:20
