Stuff
How should we view our "stuff?" Unfortunately, many times our stuff is our focal point, the end-all-be-all. This is not how God intends for it to be! He has given us our stuff and wants us to use it to serve Him and others! When we become obsessed with attaining more and more and more, often without the resources to support the acquisitions, we end up being consumed with wanting more or the debt that we gained but not obsessed with God. Our "stuff" is a means to minister and bless, given by God for that purpose. Don't get caught in the trap that will ultimately, leave you empty!

Go to Him and Bear His Reproach 2
What reproach did Christ endure? He was mocked. He was reviled. He was beaten. He was betrayed. He was spit upon. He was falsely accused. He was persecuted. And He was crucified. This is what the writer means by going outside the camp. To go outside the camp you put yourself at great risk. You now have left the security of the culture where to fit in is safety. You have now entered the Kingdom of God where discipleship lesson number one is that you are called as a Christian to suffer.

Chasing the Almight - Free
A financially free person is free from things like worry and debt and free to enjoy what they have and be happy for others instead of being envious. But it's only when God becomes the highest value in my life, the absolute center of my universe that we realize it’s more important and more satisfying than anything money can offer.

Return to The Lord Your God
We live in a world of materialism. We live in a world that is focused on self. God is calling us to return to the lord, who is our God.
