I was talking with a friend, exploring when enough is enough and he asked me plainly, “Should I give up my 4000 square foot house? Is it too much?”

I responded by asking him a few questions.

1) Do you NEED that much space?
2) Do you USE that much space?
3) Are you able to easily maintain that space?
4) Does owning this much property prohibit you from doing anything the Lord has asked you to do?

The answers were honest.

1) No, it’s just my wife and I.
2) No, we mostly use the kitchen, living room, one bedroom and one bath. I haven’t been upstairs for weeks.
3) No, the tractor is broke, the drive way need repaved and bees are taking over the garage.
4) maybe.

Having things is not bad. When things HAVE YOU it is a sin. Being owned by or in love with your possessions, status or what you eat is a sin.

I believe it is entirely ANTI-CHRIST to have so much more than we NEED while our brothers and sisters in this country and around the world suffer in poverty or below poverty. It is inexcusable and something we in the United States specifically will have to answer too eventually.
