Everyone should have an invitation to post waiting in their email inbox. If you have not, please let me know. I am excited to see this take off. Before I sent out the invites Mark had made a comment so I wanted to make sure everyone had a chance to see it. I think he makes a very good point. Thanks for sharing Mark.

I was thinking last night after the meeting about the meaning of:
15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
What I came up with was we are not to crave for worldly riches but when God provides worldly treasures, we are to use them to promote the Kingdom. What good is a big house or fancy hobbies if we only use them for our own edification, but if we use them to provide opportunities to advance the Kingdom, then they are being used for a spiritual and not worldly purpose
