“All Christians must beware of the lure of possessions and the temptation to protect one’s physical existence at the expense of one’s eternal destiny.”
{Blomberg, Neither Poverty Nor Riches, 127-128}
During bull markets, I am more:
1. Prone to forget that I am a pilgrim on my way home
2. Tempted to secure a materially better, more comfortable life
Motivation matters.
When I forget who I am in Christ, good desires become twisted into idolatrous ones. As NGU, I am tempted to forget that I am utterly dependent on God and am called to steward his resources for his mission and glory.

Praying that the Lord would guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus in 2025.
