Fingernails on a chalkboard?

Thursday - 9/20- Read James 5:1-6

Give your money liberally! That was the third point I made on Sunday morning. It came from James 5:5,6. Honestly, how did you react to this when I made this point?

Was it like fingernails on a chalkboard to you?

Why do you think we sometimes feel this way?

Why do you think we sometimes believe that money is the path to happiness?

When we think money is going to make us happy and we end up making a lot of money, we end up being selfish.

Do you agree or disagree?

If you agree, why does this happen?

On Sunday I suggested the antidote to selfishness is to open up our refrigerators (metaphor for wallets or money) and give.

How can you apply this principle today?

Read James 5:7-12 for next Sunday
