That was even before I was born again.

"no matter what".. then that is the problem. See, you cant live free from want, as we are designed to have desires, and its not desires that create chaos in our lives but rather its wrong desires that create the issues. The Buddha taught that "to be free from want is peace", and that is true, however the only way that will ever happen is if you are dead.:) So, check your desires and keep them in moderation, and make certain that you are not pursuing anything that you would be ashamed for God to find out about...(as He already knows....

I love my car, plane, computer, boat and the list goes on. Why not say that you like these things and love God? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let Jesus look down here and say, "Hey Hazard come up here." and see how fast everything here gets a back turned to them.... I just hope he calls me too. BTW our histories are pretty much the same.... except I was a service engineer with Xerox 38 of those 50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go on your knees before your computer and you pray to the computer and ask it to fulfill your dreams then its Idolatry... But if you simply are excidet and wanna have a computer its not Idolatry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
