Money we don’t have; Things we don’t need; People we don’t like
I ran into a comment on a discussion forum I frequent, and it rang so true. I have modified it slightly to reflect Biblical truth:
The world keeps prompting people to spend money they don’t have for things they don’t need, to impress people they don’t like.
It is called keeping with the Joneses. And it is sheer folly. Yet, many who profess the Name of Christ are part of this public spectacle.
