Food for Thought - Nooma --- RICH by Rob Bell

"I keep seeing this bumper sticker that's popular where I live. It says, 'God Bless America.' Every time I see one, I think God has. God has blessed America." Rob Bell

"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life."
1 Timothy 6:17

"May you come to see that you're rich. And your possessions, they're luxuries that most of the people in the world don't have. And may you do what Jesus says, may you step into your divine responsibility to give, and when you do, may you take hold of the life that is truly life." Rob Bell

Have you ever watched the Nooma Dvds? This is the first one we had watched - RICH - but quickly we picked up more from our church library. Rob Bell has a very neat and current outreach to the church of North America - to think beyond ourselves and stretch our minds. It touches on subjects that are relevant in Christian's lives today. Never really seen anything like it - but I can sense it's life-changing impact. Go check 'em out!
