First things first

During these past couple weeks we have been going through a series called, MARGIN at Gateway Community Church. The first week talking about financial margin, and this past week moral margin - for sure has stirred some engaging discussion. The Bible is so packed with words that apply clearly to our lives, even in 2010. Yes, people struggled with how to be content with the amount of money they earned. A quote which really challenged me came from, "Contentment makes a poor man rich, and discontent makes a rich man poor."

In the other area of moral margin, there are way too many ways that we succumb to temptation and we come a lot closer to areas of harm than we ever could've imagined or planned. Thankfully God in his grace wants to help us start new and seek him first.

Remember and live by these words, "Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33
