The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Part 8 – YouTube

Show Notes:

The final paradoxical teaching of Jesus is that it’s better to give than to receive.

The heart of the world’s value system has its roots in money. There’s an insatiable desire to go after riches. Because of this, money typically is the first thing that comes to mind when we hear the word blessing.

But grace tells us to withdrawal from such thinking and deny worldly gain. We have to correct our thinking on what true blessing is in the Kingdom of God.

It is more blessed to give than to receive. Instead of consuming on our own lusts, let’s begin to think what we can do to advance God’s Kingdom on the earth. Let’s not be so poor that all we have is money.

When hearing the word blessing, does your mind go to the world or does it go to Christ?
