The following list is courtesy of our interim pastor at Sunday Church, Dave Huskey. During one of his sermons he outlined the Biblical model for how to tell if something is "good." See if whatever the next purchase you are considering meets these qualifications. If not, should you really be spending your money there?
1.) Does it make you holier?
2.) Does it bring people closer together?
3.) Does it help get you closer to reaching your full potential in the Body of Christ?
4.) Does it increase your commitment to loving others?
If none of the items on this list applies, then I bet the thing in question may just be another worldly distraction: that new video game, a new car, that must-have leather jacket, etc. This list was humbling for me, but also eye opening. May it serve you well also!
