A cause of much of the trouble now facing the US economy is the effort by many to seek from material goods and services the joy and peace that can come only from a right relationship with God. We need bigger faster more esteemed cars, bigger houses, prettier faces, lots of travel, and too much food. We seek to be respected intellectually, socioeconomically, and physically by those just as confused about what truly matters in life.
Hearts surrendered to God free themselves from these bondages. They become free to do what is good and to love without concern for what matters not in the least. With these freedoms also comes freedom from debt obtained in the pursuit of vain things and freedom from the sense of burden to accumulate even more wealth merely for wealth's sake.
