Ugh! Mammon!

from Outposts · host lihnministries

... and the Lord said the way of mammon is death. Mammon elevates us in the moment, it spikes and then trails off in a negative direction… it starts high and then the thrill deteriorates until the next high… like drug use… we spend so much time trying to get back that initial spike of exhilaration, as a result, little by little we, pursue our devotion to stuff, and things, or for some maybe, the possibilities of fame and power, but it never quite becomes as satisfying and delicious as the first time we encountered “mammon”. - - - Related: https://livinginhisname.org/ugh-mammon/ Support: Venmo | Living In His Name Ministries PayPal.Me
