The American way of life : “

// Doing and having never bring more joy than

//
from the things that the
says are important.
1 John 2:15-17 NLT
Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
// There should be
in your life than walking in union with Jesus.
Luke 9:23-25
Then Jesus said to them all, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me will save it. For what does it benefit someone if he gains the whole world, and yet loses or forfeits himself?”

Living
1) Lead a “
life”.
Greek : hēsychios = “to lead a quiet life”
1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 NLT
Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.
2) Lose your preoccupation with
things.
3) Don’t be satisfied with God’s “good”. Go for God’s “
”.
