Could we be rich fools?
Posted by: Lon in Messages, tags: 12, bono, fools, greed, interdependence, luke, message, poverty, questions, quote, rich, sermonHere are the slides with the passage and images from the message this past sunday if you missed it or wanted some recall.
What do you think?
I’m not saying we all need to be poor. The opposite of greed is not poverty, but generosity.
How might you be intentional and strategic about living a life of generosity and not greed or selfishness?
What would it look like to not plan your life towards independence, and not needing one another, or God himself, but planning on a life of generosity that needs inter-dependence & community in return?
There’s a quote by bono i believe in the song a beautiful day that goes along the lines of – what you don’t have already, you don’t need now’. Could there be some truth in that?

“What would it look like to not plan your life towards independence…” I don’t know what it would look like. But I like the idea of it. A lot.
