a Biblical thought...
A devout life does bring wealth, but it's the rich simplicity of being yourself before God. Since we entered the world penniless and will leave it penniless, if we have bread on the table and shoes on our feet, that's enough. (1 Tim 6:6-8)
a Book thought...
If the whole world began to consume in the same way we do in the developed world, we would be in serious trouble. (p82 Sayers)
a Dave thought...
I recently came across a sporting quote which says "every shot makes someone happy". I thought about this and soon realised how true it is, because sport is competitive and people have taken sides or are barracking for a particular team or individual we often are often happy when not only sportsmen perform well, but also badly. The difference in a healthy church is that we are all wanting and cheering on everyone to do their very best. It's great when a Christian community is there to support each other whatever shots we are taking.
Just a thought.
