Proverbs 30: 5-9; Psalm 119H; Luke 9: 1-6

Clear the clutter

“Give me neither poverty or riches” declares the Wise Man. And the Wisest man of all tells us his missionary disciples to travel light. Resist the advertisers and their seductive calls to have the best, the brightest, the latest things. Be counter -cultural in this consumer society in which we live. Heed the Gospel warning, “What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his own soul.”
