Recovery Road

Entitlement

December 1, 2013 • Chris Edmondson • Mark 10:45, Mark 10:43, John 13:1–17

Are we we too worried about what we're entitled to? And not worried enough about what we're doing with what we're entitled to? Jesus, the Son of God, was entitled to his apostles' praise. Yet rather than demanding his due, Jesus set an even more powerful example. He became a servant.

Our National Spending Crisis

November 24, 2013 • Chris Edmondson • Deuteronomy 28:12, Proverbs 22:7, Proverbs 25:28

We can be a nation that makes interest or that pays interest. The choice should be obvious. Yet, somewhere along the way, our national perspective on that choice changed. Debt used to be a burden of the poor. Now it's a ‘tool’ used by everyone from the richest to the poorest. We need to be reminded of God's financial wisdom—wisdom that has been in the bible for 2,000 years. Maybe now is the time to start listening.

Dependence Day

November 17, 2013 • Chris Edmondson • 2 Chronicles 6:12–33, 2 Chronicles 7:11–14, Psalm 33:12, James 4:6

In God We Trust. Or do we? It's our national motto. But is it still true? Let’s challenge the nation to change our rhetoric and declare our Dependence Day—dependence on Almighty God— like King Solomon did. Like Abraham Lincoln did. Like our nation's founding fathers did. Recovery needs God's blessings and favor. And blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

We the People…

November 10, 2013 • Chris Edmondson • Matthew 7:3–5

Unemployment is up. Stocks are down. Furloughs are impacting our finances. Health Care is broken. And everybody’s pointing fingers. If you are like most Americans, you’re wondering what’s going on in Washington. And you’re probably wondering what you’re supposed to do while you wait for somebody to fix things. Well, here’s an idea. What if we don’t wait around for somebody else? What if we go ahead and start fixing it ourselves? What if “We the People” tried to get this country on the road to recovery? Sound like a good idea? Then you’re ready for Recovery Road.
