The orientation of our hearts as Christians in America is often: “I will stay here unless I am called there.” But, what if we changed that perspective to: “I will go there unless I am called to stay here," and "if I stay here, it will be because I can send or give in a way that makes a bigger impact there." Let us first examine closely the desires of our hearts and see if we might then have a more accurate picture of who we are truly following: the gifts of God or the giver Himself.
The Materialistic Trap
Let us stop laying our “treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven… For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6: 19, 21).
