Tim Keller once
did a men’s study on the seven deadly sins.
His wife Kathy told him, “I bet the day you deal with greed you will
have your lowest attendance.” And she
was right. People packed it out for
“lust”, “wrath”, even “pride”. But, as
Keller writes, “nobody thinks they are greedy…I cannot recall anyone ever
coming to me and saying, ‘I spend too much money on myself…the money god’s
modus operandi includes blindness to your own heart’.”
As we finish our focus on worship and
resources, it has become painfully apparent that we in America have a real
“stuff” issue that needs to be surrendered to God. I am confident that if we make the commitment
to let go, what we will next experience is incredible freedom. And that is a topic worthy of packing out the
room.
