the american dream idolatry

[Jessie]

short but good read.

maybe we can discuss this.
I think its true.

trying to have the "american dream" and be a genuine Christian seems to bring conflict of heart.
trying to serve 2 masters.

Jessie:


We were told to occupy until He returns, not make ourselves at home.

Just finished watching a program on cable on A.Q. Khan and nuclear proliferation: we are so toast.

Looking at the state of the world, it is pretty hard to deny that the wheels are coming off everywhere one looks.

. . . no reason to believe that things are not circling the drain.

I think so too...

I was thinking of how many are chasing the so called american dream and trying to be a Christian too. they just dont mix.

yes, occupy, but to "be someone" in say ones parents eyes,
society ect. there is a sharp division.

I'm not saying though that one cant have things. we are to occupy.
its the focus I think thats wrong.
