THE POWER OF PURPOSE (Part 4)

THE POWER OF PURPOSE (Part 4)

     4. MATERIALISM

Whatever drives you will color your judgment. Possessions and acquisitions will wear off. Material things will eventually bore you. Cars, houses, and other good things will lose their novelty with time.

Don’t allow materialism to drive you. Let purpose drive you.

Heb 13:5 MSG

Don't be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, "I'll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,"

 

     5. NEED FOR APPROVAL

Don’t be driven by the need for approval. Don’t live by the expectations and approval of spouses, bosses, friends etc.

Real friends are not manipulative. No matter how kind you are, you will fall below some people’s expectations.

Deliver yourself from people’s approval. Don’t live your life based on people’s approval.

Don’t be afraid to stand alone when you are right. Let purpose determine who you are and who you relate to.

Luk 6:26 MSG

"There's trouble ahead when you live only for the approval of others, saying what flatters them, doing what indulges them. Popularity contests are not truth contests--look how many scoundrel preachers were approved by your ancestors! Your task is to be true, not popular.

To be continued.
