Our Insecurities (5 of 6)
Looking at Life from a Different Perspective
Rev. David Cawston
Luke 12:13-21
Introduction:
Reviewing the last couple of weeks
Everything belongs to God
Everything comes from God
Everything is distributed by God
We don't own anything
How God views all of our stuff
Everything we own is a Tool
Everything is a own is a Test
Everything we own is a Trademark

What if I don't get a bonus!
What if the stock market goes down!
What if my parents leave everything to my brother!
What if my wife leaves me!
What if I lose my job!
What if, What if, What if . . .
Then when it comes time to give we sort of reach for what is in the wallet and what is left over.
Behind this fear and insecurity is this presupposition that by robbing God I am going to position myself financially so that if there is some sort of financial problem I will be ready for it!

"Dear Lord, as you can see I am having financial problems, but I don't need you to help me because all these years I have been saving and saving and saving all that money I should have been giving to you ad consequently I really don't need your ...
