Your Question:
How can I afford to keep living?
Answer:
As I reflect on how to afford to keep living, I'm reminded of the importance of prioritizing and focusing on what truly matters. For me, it's about being intentional with our family's spiritual home. My wife Susan and I have been married for 19 years, and we've been blessed with two beautiful children, Joshua and Rebecca. As a pastor of our local evangelical church, I've learned that it's not about accumulating wealth, but about living a life of simplicity and contentment. In my own experience, I've found that when I focus on what brings me satisfaction, such as playing chess or reading science fiction novels, I'm more at peace with what I have. It's not about being wealthy, but about being grateful for what God has provided. As the scripture says, "You cannot bring yourself to the point of spiritual reality anytime you choose." So, I ask God for wisdom and guidance on how to manage our resources and live a life of abundance, not just in material possessions, but in the love and relationships that truly matter. For us, it's about living within our means and being mindful of our expenses. We don't need a large house to be happy or fulfilled. In fact, the scripture reminds us that a house larger than our needs is a hindrance to our progress towards heaven. So, we strive to live simply and focus on what truly brings us joy and fulfillment. By doing so, we're able to afford to keep living, not just financially, but spiritually and relationally as well.
