My Favourite ........ Possession


..... a Ferrari........ I think not.

What about you? Would you like one ?
Should Christians have such things ?

Jesus said ' Go and sell all you have and give your money to the poor' Matt 19:21
Was He talking about extravagances... or all things ?

What would He think about todays consumerist society ?
Is God happy with your choices of possession?

Mines my family, but I can't bring them to your place. We all wouldn't fit in. I guess if I had to have a second it would be my Bible, a real desert island disc item if I had to have one.

Hi Julie..!

Yes we were few in number but Simon and Rose had planned a good meeting.

We had much discusion and watched some of Lord of The Rings - the bit where Bilbo hands some of his prized items to Frodo but shows that the desire for The Ring has possessed him.

We read a lot of stuff in the Bible about God's perspective, and it seems that the best approach is that in Paul's letter to Phillipians - ie be content in every situation with what you have - an open-handedness about possessions. We can't take them with us!

Store up treasures in heaven
