Luke 12:15 (ESV)
15 And he (Jesus) said to them,
“Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
People cling to their possessions for their identities.
1 Corinthians 11:22 (ESV)
What!
Do you not have houses to eat and drink in?
Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? ...
You should not be ashamed of having more than others if you obtained it the right way.
You don't owe somebody something because you have more than they do.
We all have the same source which is God.
If you covet what someone has because they have more than you, it is a sin.
We are not to be anybody else's God.
If God deals with you to do something, do it.
Let it be the Holy Spirit telling you to do it.
You'll never have enough to be everybody's source.
Seeking to impress others is ungodly.
It's evil to make fun of people.
Proverbs 17:5 (NLT)
Those who mock the poor insult their Maker; those who rejoice at the misfortune of others will be punished.
You should not be ashamed of having more than others if you obtained it the right way.
Seeking to impress others is ungodly.
