    Juy 31, 1988. When we don’t have enough, materially, it’s easy to be spiritual, and we respond with gratitude. When we have enough, materially, it’s still easy to be spiritual, and we respond with responsibility.

    You may not know it, but we may be in the vicinity of a piece of history. We may be in the neighborhood that gave rise to a revolution in the restaurant business.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,718 views

    From God’s provision during Israel’s 40 year wilderness wandering experience, the Jews in Moses’ time could learn some valuable lessons, the Jews in Jesus’ time could learn some valuable lessons, and so can Christians of all times.

    Jesus’ Midrash: Materialism and God’s Provision (Deuteronomy 8:3-18, Matthew 6:24-34) 1. "In contradistinction to literal interpretation, subsequently called "peshaṭ" (comp. Geiger’s "Wiss. Zeit.

    Greedy For Good Times

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 22, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,159 views

    Why are we rarely as thankful as we should be? Perhaps it is because we are so wrapped up with God’s blessings that we forget their source; we are not willing to take the time or expend the patience it takes to say, "Thank You, Lord."

    Greedy for Good Times (Deuteronomy 8:10-11, 17-18, Luke 17:11-19) 1. Many of us have families spread throughout the nation. It is hard to get together, even for the holidays. 2.

    This message looks at the fact that God wants to do more with our money than ever imagined. ...but it’s not ours - its His!

    What do you think says to the world that you are a follower of Christ? What tells people that you are a believer? Is it your Bible?

    Are Your Satisfied?

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Nov 23, 2011
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,873 views

    God wants us to bless (and thank) him AFTER he blesses us. It is easy to be God-conscious when we are in need; it is another thing when we are satisfied.

    Who said: “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which ...read more

    It's good to establish memorials and hold events to remember important occasions or people. What about when it comes to God? If we're not careful, our focus on God could fade to where we think of him less and less. We have to be careful to not forget God.
