Proper Attitude

“Proper attitude in this crisis-dominated world is a priceless possession. Never before is it more important for all of us to move forward with conviction. We may be behind, but we are not losing if we are moving in the right direction. God will not score our performances until the end of the journey.” ~ Marvin J. Ashton

Memory

"A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor." ~ Alexander Smith

Live Freely and Nobly

“It is preoccupation with possession, more than anything else, that prevents men from living freely and nobly.” – Bertrand Russell

A Royal Wedding

If we truly understood our identity in Christ, every Christian wedding would be treated as a “royal wedding.” ~ Gary Thomas

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. ~ 1 Peter 2:9 (ESV)

Your Possessions & Your Ministry

"Every item I add to my possessions is one more thing to think about, talk about, clean, repair, display, rearrange, and replace when it goes bad. Acquiring a possession may also push me into redefining my priorities, making me unavailable for ministry." ~ Randy Alcorn

“Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” ~ Luke 12:15

Focus on Him

"God is everything. My focus must be on him, seeking to know him more completely and allowing him full possession of my life." ~ Mary Morrison Suggs

Trinkets Are Temporary

Every item I add to my possessions is one more thing to think about, talk about, clean, repair, display, rearrange, and replace when it goes bad. Acquiring a possession may also push me into redefining my priorities, making me unavailable for ministry. “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions” (Luke 12:15). ~ Randy Alcorn

‎19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ~ Matthew 6:19-21 (ESV)
