The Best Things In Life Aren T Things J
The Best Things In Life Aren’t Things - John C. Maxwell
This statement about 8 or 9 months ago, when I saw it, it really grabbed me. You know how something just, you know, when you see it, it really just kind of causes you to mentally stand at attention…when I saw this statement, ‘the best things in life are not things,’ I thought, how true it really is. And I want to just kind of talk to you about balance and perspective this morning in the issue of materialism and also to our Injoy Life listeners. I have two books that I want to share with your staff that I think are really excellent books. I’ve read both of them in the last couple of months. One is entitled, Real Prosperity, by gene Gets. Biblical principles of material positions. If you’ve ever read anything about Gene Gets or read any of his books, and I think I’ve read almost all of them, and I consider him to be an excellent writer. Gene always does a good job biblically pulling a lot of material together. Whenever you read a book by Gene Gets, he’s really done a lot of work as far as biblical foundation and this true in real prosperity. He has several chapters in there that kind of gives us a biblical perspective. Then another book that I’m really excited about and in fact, Barbara my secretary had put me on this one…and its by Patrick Morley who wrote as you know, the book for men, Man in the Mirror, which is kind of hit the country by storm in the last few months. I’ve read that one and I’ve read this one and I think this one is better. This one is entitled, I Surrender. Submitting to Christ in the details of life. I’m here to tell you, this is an outstanding book on lordship and consecration. And I really, thoroughly have enjoyed both of those books and the reason I share with you those books, is because, some of the material I’m going to give you today is out of those books, but importantly, I think what I’m going to share with you today, if you go pick up those two books, it will
