Where Have You Placed Your Security?

The wealth of the rich is their fortified city they imagine it a wall too high to scale Proverbs NIV Money can provide real protection but it can also create a dangerous illusion of security We may begin to believe that enough savings investments or possessions can shield us from whatever life brings In Samuel we encounter a wealthy man named Nabal whose story illustrates the danger of placing too much confidence in earthly riches His experience reminds us that while financial resources are valuable tools they can never provide the ultimate security our hearts desire Nabal A Wealthy Man [... more]

Choosing Contentment

If there's one word that defines our culture it's more More upgrades More comfort More square footage More of whatever promises to make life a little better Yet despite having more than previous generations could have imagined many of us feel less satisfied than ever Why Because contentment doesn't come from acquiring what's next It's cultivated in the heart right where we are And Scripture reminds us that contentment isn't something we stumble upon It's something we can learn Why More Is Never EnoughWe're all tempted to believe that the next purchase promotion milestone or change in circumstances will finally [... more]
