The Interview

I hate job interviews. They are nerve wracking and boring all at the same time. I interviewed Tuesday for a supervisor position in Austin. So which is worse the wait for the interview or the wait for the post interview call?

Ok, well I promised my 2 cents on this subject. I personally think that Joel Olsteen and his ilk are simply the next generation of charlatains in the same vein as Oral Roberts, Robert Tilton and the Barkers. I do not see how anyone to take an honest look at the life of the apostles or Christ and conclude that God intends material blessing for his followers as a reward for following. That is not to say that God does nto choose some to be wealthy, nor that hard work and perserverance are not rewarded. But it is heracy to suggest that John 10:10 ensures that all belivers will have no financial struggle. Most Christians around the world are deeply impovershed. If our motivation for following Christ is anythign but to repay a debt of gratitude our focus is off and we simply do not understand the price that was paid.

I read a really good article in TIME this week and it got me to thinking. The article was attempting to answer the question "Does God want me to be rich?" So I was curious what my Blogging friends out their thought about it. Does God want us to be rich? Is it ok for a believer to spend money on nice luxury items? where is the line? a new car, a new rolls Royce, ten Porsches etc...

I'll give my two cents next week but tell me what you think.
