"And we have overspent… We have not been responsible - we've bought things we didn't need with money we didn't have to impress people we didn't even like.... The biggest problem for all of our economic problems is our inability to delay gratification. I want it and I want it now, and I'm going to buy it even if I can't afford it. And not only have people done that, the government's done it." -Rick Warren
So True!!!! We all share the problem, an "inability to delay gratification". As Christians we must stand up for what is right. God's Word is right, and the answers for how we should live regarding our possessions, is in there.
Acts 2:44-47 KJV
"And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved."
My favorite part of the above scripture, "And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved"! That part is awesome! When the church loves on people fulfilling their needs, God is glorified by people surrendering their life and will to Jesus their LORD and Savior, and that is what it is all about! May God be continually glorified and praised, and His Kingdom increased with more and more and MORE of His beautiful people!!
