Dear Members and Friends of Trinity Downtown:

Forbes magazine just came out with their annual list of the richest people in the United States.  Most of the names are probably familiar, such as: Elon Musk (Tesla and SpaceX), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Bill Gates (Microsoft), Warren Buffett, and Michael Bloomberg. As a group, the top 20 richest billionaires in our country are worth 1.6 trillion dollars. This year, the wealthiest was Elon Musk, whose net worth reportedly topped $251 billion. That means Musk controls a bit more than 1% of the entire GDP of the U.S.

 

Some of the so-called “robber barons” of the early 20th century were even richer than Musk. John D. Rockefeller, who created Standard Oil Company (think Exxon and Chevron), owned 3% of 1913’s GDP. Rockefeller put his wealth to good use; his foundations revolutionized American medicine and our education system.

 

Rockefeller never stopped trying to increase his fabulous wealth. Toward the end of his life, he was asked “How much money is enough?” His succinct answer: “Just a little bit more.” He was never satisfied, despite being richer than anyone who is alive today.

 

God’s Word has much to say about money, and how we should use it. Money is a wonderful tool, but it’s a terrible tyrant if we treat it as an idol.

 

This Sunday at Trinity Downtown, we’ll be discussing the Lord’s challenge to us on what it REALLY means to unselfishly use what He has given us…not just for our own comfort, but for the benefit of our community and God’s invisible Kingdom. Come learn how placing your doubts, suffering, distractions, hopes, fears, uncertainties in the hands of the Lord can lessen our stress load and bring deep transformation in our hearts. Celebrate with us the depth of Jesus’ love for us and find out how you can live a life of significance, filled with meaning.  Discover how following Jesus can help you and your family navigate around the minefields of life. I promise you it will make a tremendous difference in your life.
