“This week I wanted to talk about money. I think it is so easy to get caught up on what we see on social media and forget about reality. Money is very dangerous to our minds and hearts. All we desire is money so we can buy nice things, the latest models of technology and clothes to show off. This is when you start using money to get validation from others you tend to stray the path that God has set for you. I am sure that God does not care if you wear the latest fashions and trends. Money is a short term fix, you feel good about having it but after time it runs low. God's love never falters or deteriorates. A statement that has really resonated with me is '' Riches are not promised on earth, but God's love is." Now does that mean we should not get ourselves or others nice things? no. The point is for it not to run your life with the thought of money giving you happiness and love because God is the only one who can.”
