What is the American dream?
What is your dream?
What is God's dream for you... for America?
Do these two things mesh?
If we're honest with ourselves, we'd realize that even those of us who work mid-level or entry-level jobs - and those of us who live month-to-month or even year-to-year - are living in abundance or prosperity when compared to the global reality.
In this chapter, Stearns outlines three principles from a scriptural view of money that differ from the American dream's view of money.
1. It' snot our money - it all comes from God.
2. We are not entitled to it but entrusted with it.
3. God expects us to use it in the interest of his kingdom.
There is a beautiful picture of a community living with these principles in Acts 2.
So, what is your view of money? Will you allow your American dream to die so that God's dream for you can rise in its place?
