Student Review

I have seen that living in luxury is pointless and not only that but it can effect the way one lives for God. When you live with just the necessities, you show yourself that there is more to entertainment and comfort in life, that seeking material wealth all the time, Is a waste of time and the precious gift of life which God has bestowed upon us to live for His glory and not our own. Gods will is indeed inedible. Nothing we can do will prevent what He has in store for us in this life and the next. When we do follow Gods will and obey Him, much joy and peace will pursue those who follow Christ. Blessings abound in the righteous living of the one who obeys and hears God.

Hudson Taylor was a calm, peaceful man, who learned many things about God and became closer to Him through self-sacrifice and dedication to God in all aspects of his life. Hudson trained himself to live on just the necessities, and nothing more in order that he depend upon God for everything and even his very meal everyday. He lived in a most humble and poor conditions to show his dependence upon God in every day life and activity. He was obedient and listened to the call of God. He was described as many of the fruits of the Spirit that God shows in the Word. Sacrifice became a daily thing for Hudson, as God molded and shaped Hudson for His will.

Hudson Taylor was just that sort of man, one who you could call a saint. He would go where no one would want to go. And do what no one would want to do. He willed to do Gods will, and that was to go to china and spread the good news of salvation to all the lost and hurting people in china. He was to a fairly financially stable family. Except he was not saved yet when he was just a lad. Yet his mother prayed earnestly for a long time for the salvation of her only son. The prayer was answered by God, when Hudson accidentally picked up a Christian brochure and read of the saving love of Jesus and Christ and what Christ did on the

    This statement puts a valid defense to luxuries. For example: the television was once owned by the wealthy or fortunate. It was considered a luxury to own a television. Many people looked forward toward achieving the goal of purchasing something that not many people had or were able to afford. This concept or ideology is supported by (Mieses) in the article who says that "luxury is highly dependent on time and place."…

    Would you give your life for something you believed in? Jim Elliot died trying to bring people to Christ. This might be all you know about this famous martyr, but he didn’t start out as a missionary in Ecuador.

Finally, he went to the mission field where he began full-time missionary work. Passionate followers of Christ, like Jim Elliot, will give everything they have, including their lives to reach others, just as Christ did for us.…

    Paul believes that money can solve everything, but the unfortunate truth is that money cannot buy him an escape from his future as an unexceptional clerk or a life where he can experience music and fine arts because he does not enjoy the luxuries of the upper class. His class dictates more than just what he can buy and own, it dictates who he can be and what he can do. The unfortunate truth in Paul’s case is that he has no real escape from his class because the larger constraints of his class are intangible and inescapable with money or physical goods. Consequently, he will never be in place doing the one thing he loves, going to orchestra concerts. The same concept holds true even today. Upper class people live by a completely different set of standards based on perception, not wealth. A rich man drinking is a perceived connoisseur of fine wine, but a poor man drinking is a perceived alcoholic. The unfortunate truth of “Paul’s Case” is that all of the money in the world cannot change how others view what a person can and cannot experience based on their class, and breaking these standards is extremely difficult if not…

    • 2 Pages

    In “Salvation” by Langston Hughes, Hughes explains how he as a young boy lost faith in his religion. Hughes writes of being about twelve years old and being brought by his aunt to church to try and find Jesus. Hughes is told that he will see Jesus and “something happened to you inside!” When Hughes went to church he and the other children were put at the front of the church and had all the adults pray around them. Many children got up right away signifying that they had found Jesus right away. Hughes and another boy ended up being the last ones searching for Jesus. The other boy lied about seeing Jesus so he could get up leaving Hughes by himself. Feeling guilty about being the only person not to see Jesus, Hughes lied about seeing Jesus. Later that night Hughes cried and explained to the reader that he had lost faith in Jesus. The piece by Hughes is well written and connects to the reader on a personal basis.…

    It can be assumed that one must give up something in order to live an abundant life if it only provides temporary happiness and distracts from leading you to The Good. The term abundant life comes from the bible verse John 10:10 "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." One may think that having an abundant life includes having an abundance of goods, but this is not the case. Living an abundant life refers to life in its abounding fullness of joy and strength for mind, body, and soul. This is essentially living in the light of the good, and for Christians this is being in the glory of God. In order to fulfill an abundant life you must first realize that there is something that is providing you with a lack of being satisfied in your life. This…

    Delusion of Poverty

    • 1137 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Many people will use the excuse of this is the way I was born or this is my environment and I cannot change it. Through these statements it shows that most of the time it is because of your own mindset the reason you are where you are today. We have all heard, you are where you are today because of what you did yesterday. If you didn’t change or plan ahead yesterday, then you can expect today to be different until you change. A poverty mindset can manifest itself in a lack of vision for the future. You end up stuck in a financial rut, perhaps working a job that barely meets the financial needs of your household. When you lack vision, it’s hard for you to believe that God would give you an idea to take your household to prosperity. And if God does give you a big idea, you either will not follow-up on it, or you will find a way to sabotage it. Your poverty mindset keeps you stuck where you are. If a person feels less than others then he will not feel deserving. If he does not feel deserving, his life is based on desperation and wanting, rather than from joy and abundance. If one feels abundant, he will have abundance. If one feels desperate and wanting, he will expand the poverty in his life.…
