The Good Recession…

Tony Reinke posts some good quotes from Pastor Josh Harris’s two recent messages, which are outlined (by Tony) as follows:

Part 1: The Folly of Greed (Luke 12:13-21)
This recession can be good if we allow it to open our eyes to folly of greed and covetousness.

Part 2: Don’t Worry . . . Seek the Kingdom (Luke 12:22-34)
This recession can be good if it helps reset our definition of ‘need.’
This recession can be good if it makes us more aware of our helplessness and God’s faithful provision.
This recession can be good if it helps us see that only King Jesus and His kingdom are worth living for.
This recession can be good if it encourages us to lay up treasure in heaven.
