Not as much as every pastor that has to tell that "starfish" story. Responding to the meat. I believe that God calls us to be responsible. I see many times where we depend on our wealth to save us, that money becomes our masters, and that we obsess over making more and more of it. In the end, what is money? Power. power to purchase, to indulge, to squander. The more you have, the harder it is to remain balanced. Remember, Job was blessed with wealth, but he was a righteous man. evowookie commented: Thank you for debunking that gate myth…it really really grates me.

Often we come to wrong conclusions because we mediate on a verse or a chapter. But the authors of the books and letters of the bible were not the ones that numbered chapters and verses. They never intended for you not read the entire book. Other than Proverbs, the bible was never intended to be read as a series of one sentence guides to wisdom. You have done a good job of putting the story back into full contest. Thank you mrguesswho commented: Context, what was the author trying to say.

I remember long ago discussing this with a man at my church and I told him that I thought that in most cases, Jesus never actually asks you to give up everything but expects you to be willing to. It's less of a phyiscal act of sacrifice, and more of a spiritual and emotional act of submission. There are, however, times when it is of utmost importance to relinquish things, money, or whatever it is holding you back from a dynamic relationship with Christ. Ultimately, though what I think it all boils down to is submission and a proper view of God & ourself. In lowliness & humility, we must realize that there is nothing worth depending on if it is Christ Himself. Schmrfett commented: I agree with you’ve said here.

I agree that Christ is, and was, all about transcending sin.....in fact, he was all about transcending sin by "turning from" it. Was that because someone "broke the rules"? In my reading of Scripture, it was because of the effect that sin has on the person and others around him/her. Christ/God doesn't condemn others......we condemn ourselves. Christ/God only offers the wisdom and the power to turn from those shacking attitudes/actions. Jesus/God has provided the keys to the kingdom......the wisdom (as a father and mother do for their children) of what ultimately hurts us and others, and how to find fulfillment in life. It is our choice (just as it is our children's choice) to listen or not. . I would also agree that many people are very aware of their sin. That is why, when we are close to someone, we can sometimes help by speaking the truth in love. Ultimately, if they continue to embrace the sin...they suffer the penalty or consequences of their actions. If they are able to stop the sin...they are freed from something that has been bonding them and affecting their life in a negative manner. We should always speak out of love, not condemnation.
