…if we made just a little more money, then we’d finally be happy.
  
Enough is Enough


    In the past four years, Ted Turner has earned an astounding 7 million dollars. He's now in a position to earn 14 times more than that amount. Yet will it be ENOUGH!?

    In the sale of his broadcasting company to Time Warner, Ted Turner could rake in as much as 100 million dollars! Other top executives are negotiating for higher and higher salaries and compensations. One observer in the corporate world says, “Executive compensation is utterly out of control. They’re looking at what some peers are getting and are demanding more.”

    We may think this problem of greed affects only the super rich. But let's be honest—most of us long to make more money. Some call this tendency the “gratification fantasy.” It’s really just part of Satan’s big lie. We’re deluded into thinking that if we made just a little more money, then we’d finally be happy.

    When is enough, enough? It’s when we find a true home for our heart’s desire—in Jesus Christ. Let me remind you of Paul’s famous words from Philippians 4: “I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances may be. I know now how to live when things are difficult and I know how to live when things are prosperous…I have learned the secret of eating well or going hungry—of facing either plenty or poverty. I am ready for anything through the strength of the One who lives within me.”
