“It seems to me that one of the surest ways to know whether money and possessions own me or if I own them is to exercise authority over them and send them out to do my bidding. If I hold on to them, for whatever good reason, I can’t be quite as sure about their power over me. Materialism might still have a grip.”

Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions. Luke 12:15

Linden Kirby has been taking the “30-Day Challenge” to not purchase any new stuff over a 30 day period and I have been following him, with interest, via RSS feed. This excerpt was from the May 18 post: “Got Stuff? Give it Away.” Follow this blog at: http://www.excel-ministries.com/blog
