(TLF) The Ultimate Law Is Love

“For Love or Money” By Bill Crowder Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions. Luke 12:15 Read Luke 19:1–10 Irish poet Oscar Wilde said, “When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is.” Oscar Wilde however lived till the age forty-six. Money is temporary; it comes and it goes. So life must be about more than money and what it can buy.  Jesus challenged the people of His generation—rich and poor alike—to a recalibrated value system. He said, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”  In our culture, where there’s an abiding focus on more and newer and better, there’s something to be said both for contentment and for perspective about how we view money and possessions. Upon meeting Jesus, a rich young ruler went away sad because he had many possessions he didn’t want to give up (...

"For such a time as this." Esther 4:14  The right place; the right people Esther won a beauty contest, married a king, lived in a palace, uncovered a plot to exterminate the Jewish people and saved them. Her story shows us the importance of being in the right place, and being influenced by the right people. So: (1) Where you are today is no accident. Mordecai, Esther's mentor, challenged her and changed her life by saying, "Who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?" Esther didn't set out to be queen, but once she was, she had to decide between her comfort and her calling. It's a choice we all make. "What's my calling?" you ask. It could involve your job, your marriage, your tasks as a parent, your friendships. It could involve the neighborhood where you live or volunteering at your church. One thing is certain: when God calls, it's "your time." We're tempted to think we're "t...

Americans have never shrunk from adversity, so in the fullness of time young people may put on their game face, create new industries, discover fresh roads to affluence and solve the nation's vexing economic problems. But all that lies far in the future. The immediate problem is psychological: the sudden, shocking realization that work as it is constituted in the early 21st century is going to be hell. In the workplace, you don't get to pick your company. In the workplace, you do not get a trophy just for showing up. In the workplace, the boss gets to scream at you as a perk. Probably your first day on the job. Your boss, who doesn't have an iPad, isn't on Facebook and doesn't know how to text. Your boss, who doesn't particularly care rap. Your boss, who probably has a night-school degree. Young people can be forgiven for thinking that the portrayal of the working world in comedies like "The Office" and "Office Space" is completely over the t...
