Thrift
In a world where prudence and self-restraint are roughly as popular as chastity and ice dancing, thrift is a lost art. It has been reduced (when considered at all) to a tragic necessity for dullards who cannot keep up with life in the fast lane. It should not be so…
Thrift is not stinginess, nor is it greed. Practiced rightly, it destroys both. Thrift creates margin in a world that squeezes it. It guards against means becoming ends. It affords greater opportunity to honor God and love people. It is biblical, it is wise, it is good. Thrift is believing that “contentment with Godliness is great gain.”
A well ordered heart and an increasingly well ordered life are gifts and blessings God offers— He is the cause and effect, thrift is a means. For the next four weeks we will walk through what scripture says about more of less and less of more… and it just might be the beginning of something beautiful.
