Home Church Teaching on Abundance of Material Things
Home church can effectively teach members about the dangers of accumulating material things.
What are material things that the bible warns us about? These are gadgets and toys we love to buy and try to use.
Most of them we do not need.
I do not understand why people have three beautiful knife sets.
They each have a dozen knives and two sets have never cut anything so far.
Because we keep them as showpieces and people who come to your house admire them.
How stupid and foolish we become.
Home church can gently teach you this danger.
There are material things you never get to use.
You do not need that clutter and waste your money.
To add to these problems some of them we buy on credit cards watching TV late night.
Many such small and big gadgets lure us to buy without thinking twice.
We need to ask the question before you buy anything.
Do I need this? Really, do I need this? Ask twice.
If you think this is something you do without, then do not buy immediately.
Home church is so small we discuss and help each other overcome this habit.
You have lived so far without it, right.
Give it some time and see if you still want it.
Then if you are convinced day after day you do to make you save time and money, you may buy it.
There are many such things sitting around all over the house.
Do yourself a favor.
Go over your house on a weekend with your spouse and get rid of stuff that you do not need.
Well how do I know when I may need it? Here is a simple test for you.
Ask yourself a question.
When did I last use this? How often do I use this? IF no then give it away it throw it away.
Home church is a good place to help you get rid of stuff.
Another reason we need these tings is that you are used to this, which you did not before.
After using gadgets for sometime, you get used to it, until you see others not using it.
You question why I am using them.
There are so many things lying around your house that have become your master now.
There are clothes that we have not worn in months and some years.
Some we keep hoping to either lose weight or gain weight.
How stupid can we get? Get rid of them.
Go through our closet periodically like every three moths and give away clothes you do not wear or need to good will or Salvation Army.
Home church can help you see the light here.
