God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
“Adopt[ing] 'no other view” (Galatians 5:10) is an interesting phrase. Ever watch “The View?” It mirrors modern America. And as that show testifies, there is no such thing as “the view” because in modern America there are no absolutes. It should be called “The Views” or “Many Views!” Everybody is entitled to their opinion and all options are to be cherished, except the opinion that you are right and another is wrong. It is the age of tolerating everyone’s viewpoint (better said needing to accept everyone's viewpoint), providing that viewpoint is not biblical teaching. According to the world, that view is not to be tolerated! But Paul in Galatians 5:10 says just the opposite! He promotes the biblical view and calls us to 'adopt no other view.'
Money is a self-defeating pursuit. In my efforts to find contentment in money, I actually become more discontent if I love money. The more I believe money will satisfy my needs, the more I will depend on money, only to realize that I never have enough. As long as there is always a new item to purchase, I will never be satisfied or content with what I possess.
