The Lie of More
Psalm 23:1 CSB – The Lord is my Shepherd; I have what I need.
1 Timothy 6:6-10 CSB – But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out. If we have food and clothing, we will be content with these. But if those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

The Lie of “Now”
Proverbs 21:5 CSB – The plans of the diligent certainly lead to profit, but anyone who is reckless certainly becomes poor.
The Lie of Scarcity
Matthew 6:31-33 CSB – So don’t worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things, and your heavenly Fathers knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you.
Philippians 2:5-11 CSB – Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus, who existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be exploited. Instead He emptied Himself by assuming the form of a servant, taking on the likeness of humanity. And when He had come as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death – even to death on a cross. For this reason, God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow – in heaven and on earth and under the earth – and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
