Which Category are You?

by Isaiah Roman

Conservative:
Those who see the possessions of others and think; “I can adjust my priorities to bring my desires in line with reality, increase my education to find more profitable employment to better afford those things in order to have a more satisfactory life.”

Liberal:
Those who see the possessions of others and become consumed with jealousy because they believe it is unjust or un-fortuitous that their desires remain unfulfilled.  There must be someone else at work trying to keep him poor purposely because of some prejudice “they” have against them.

Christian:
Those who know that “every good and perfect gift comes down from above, from the Father of lights.” (James 1:17) That “God is His ample reward” (Matthew 10: 42) and that He “is abundantly gracious” (Joel 2: 13); therefore, these people are determined “in what so ever state [they find themselves in] therewith to be content.” (Philippians 4:11)
