17 years

I spent exactly
17 years trying to be too good
Another 17 years rebelling against that and being bad, bitter, and lost
I think I may be finally ready to look for me

Private property

The really messed up thing is that I bet, when resources get more scarce, our governments start passing laws allowing people to defend their property with use of force. Its sad to realize we will think of that before we do away with the concept of private property, which is flawed at its root.

Economic sins

Buying on credit, if for other than cash flow reasons, thus living beyond our means. Signifies a lack of satisfaction with the abundance god provides, pride in taking into our own hands the substance of our fulfillment, and a rejection of god's gifts.
buying an SUV if to enjoy the sense of power and protection it affords. Signifies a lack of faith in god to protect us, and a willingness to destroy god's creation for the sake of personal comfort, hence not treating our neighbors as ourselves.
Saving any money before we give ten percent of it away.

We should Ask god to help us Examine our hearts to find any sin in our own economic decisions.

There is irony at all our medicine to take our survival out of God's hands, yet 75% of illness doctors see is stress related which doctors can't treat.  We are killing ourselves as fast as we are saving ourselves.
