What something is needed in your life for it to carry value?

Do guys/girls provide it for you? That one thing that is soooo needed, do you NEED it or else you are just not :)

How does God fit in?? Materially, can He if you're needing 'things?'

Scripture tells us what about here storing up things?

How do you think you could rework your values to be :) without needing things?


Do you think an understanding of this 'value' concept (not from my thread, necessarily) could make you understand how to SHOP differently in life, or, how to go about your life SPORTING different things?

Does this thread have a resounding ring ? :D

Yes, good, julieannie, those are a few of your favorite things, wants and needs, as Julie Andrews would sing, well, uh, kinda :D

But, really, what this thread is going for is that guys and gals realize that their life, IF it is so BENT on ETERNAL THINGS, then all the necklaces, cars, sex, power, money, rock and roll will become way lower on the CURVE of want, in fact, they won't be NEEDED . :)

Give God's stuff that He WILL give you after you die FIRST priority and the other stuff-temporal stuff-will all seem less important of......

value :)

Valueless as opposed to priceless - Which one do you want ? (Need?) :)

I think that we need to put our eyes and purpose of our life in Jesus, and to search for our satisfaction in God through the bible, prayers and other actions as a consecuence of our love to God and not in the material things Luke 12:15 "...life does not consist in an abundance of possessions"

But i think too that its good to enjoy the material things that God gives us and prosperity seems to be a consecuence (but not a requirement) of the people who fear God (like Psamls 112 say).

I think that its very important too in what we use the material things because all the material things can be good if we use them with wisdom, to help others and to the purpose or ministry to God.

The needs I listed ARE the things I value. :)

The wants are just gravy.
