“Because of the value placed on individual materialistic success in our society, we are surrounded by people primarily interested in getting something from others. Their attitudes are characterised by selfishness and a lack of empathy for others.” PeopleJesusIndividualChristSuccessfulLivingEmpathyValueSelfishSelfishnessAgendasOthersNotNot CaringHiddenOfLackAgendaPlacedMaterialistic Success Book:So, You Want to Be Rich...

“The world put's too much emphasis on what a person does in terms of monetary value and social status as opposed to who they are. If I was to ask you if you would be loved for who you are or what you do (eg. your occupation), I would guess that you would say who you are. Things are the wrong way around unless you follow Jesus. God cares about who we are primarily, not what we do. It is our character and approach to life that he cares about. God wants us to choose him and put him first which ultimately means being a servant to him and others.” PeopleWorldCharacterGodJesusSocialWorkSocietyIdentityCapitalismWho You AreValueCapitalistEmphasisMonetaryDoLovedStatusOfWho Author:Tim Crawshaw
