Love Things Less — Francis Chan Crazy Love Ministry

Face Value Facts — Reality of Rich

If you have any money in the bank $50 or money in the pocket you are richer than 92% of the world

It’s not about the money, amount, quantity — it’s about the heart and the words we use — do we actually mean what we say? If we really believed in Jesus, why won’t we give more?

Out of the $800 Billion dollars Christian evangelicals receive, only 2% are given to the workers. It’s sick!

Faith and works are closely interrelated. True believes are the ones who take action.

The Rich Young Ruler

Mark 10:17-27 New American Standard Bible

¹⁷As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” ¹⁸And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. ¹⁹You know the commandments, ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’” ²⁰And he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth up.” ²¹Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” ²²But at these words ^[a]he was saddened, and he went away grieving, for he was one who owned much property.

²³And Jesus, looking around, said to His disciples, “How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!” ²⁴The disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus answered again and *said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! ²⁵It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” ²⁶They were even more astonished and said to Him, “^[b]Then who can be saved?” ²⁷Looking at them, Jesus said, “With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”
