The Economics of Kingdom Citizenship (10 of 10)
Series: Philippians
Patrick Edwards
Philippians 4:10-23
Introduction
Much like many of you, one of things that the Edwards family enjoys doing on Sundays after our corporate worship time is going out for pizza. You see, of everyone in my family, the biggest proponent for pizza each week is me, much more than the kids. I love pizza, and I can eat an absurd amount of it. I love when we go to Spin and I can get my own pizza and the kids can each get their own because it means that I will not only get to eat my own pizza but at least half of each of theirs as well. I mean seriously. I know its gluttonous but pizza is one of those foods I can just gorge myself on! It doesn't matter how much I've had, I want more.
I think that's an appetite pretty common among humanity, however. It doesn't matter how much we have of something, we want more. It's never enough. Concerning kids, it never seems to surprise me that no matter how much Teresa and I do for our little ones, it's never enough. How quickly they forget our deeds of love; they're on to the next thing. It seems hard-wired almost within us to never be satisfied.
For example, think about when you first got out on your own, you were making some money, trying to make the bills and you used to think about that dollar amount that would change everything. 'Oh, if I only made this much money, then everything would be great.' Well what happened when you finally made that much money, was everything great? No. Suddenly that number changed, didn't it? Suddenly, now you only needed to make this much money and then life would be great. Of course, once you started making that amount, it was no longer enough. My point, friends, is that it's never enough.
I love my wife to death, but I used to give her a hard time as to how many white t-shirts did she need from Target. She'd say she had nothing to wear, but her closet is full of clothes she hadn't worn in years! I'm n ...
