What We Think We Know
"The American Dream Is The Christian Dream"
Pastor Tom Shirk
September 30, 2007
"And do not seek what you shall eat, and what you shall drink, and do not keep worrying. For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things." -- Luke 12:29,30
What is the American Dream?
- Home ownership
- Financial security
- Material possessions
The American dream was once an attainment to pursue; it is now an entitlement to be received.
The American Dream has always required tremendous energy but has never delivered soul-satisfaction.
The American Dream is American, but not Christian.
Luke 12:29,30 - Three things about God...
- We seek a Kingdom, where God Rules
- We follow a Shepherd who provides for our needs
- We obey a Father who knows best and gives the best
Practical Applications:
Sell your possessions... Take something and sell it and give it away.
Understand how brief our life is.
