Episode description
A guardrail is a standard of personal behavior that becomes a matter of conscience. To avoid greed and irresponsibility: give, save, live. We live in a society filled with the consumption assumption. Get more, spend more. John Ortberg calls it the shadow mission of America - more. Contrary to popular belief, God does not need your money. He does not want something from you, he wants something for you. He wants to protect and direct us in life to void the ditches of consuming and hoarding. In other words, guardrails around money direct us away and protect us from greed.
