Rev. Ray Borg from Financial Discipleship Canada and notmine.ca joins Dave and Reb on “Let’s Talk Money” this morning to reflect on thanksgiving, worship, and our understanding of God. This discussion also looks at how our ideas about God influence how we talk to God about money.
As James Bryan Smith says in his book The Good and Beautiful Life, “what we think determines how we live. If we think God is an angry accountant frowning on us and would love us if only we are good enough, that narrative will be seen in how we live” (found on page 11of his book). Together, Dave, Reb, and Rev. Borg discuss this understanding of God, and how that can influence our worship of Him.
They also talk about how God, through Jesus Christ and relationship with His Holy Spirit, truly is the North Star in our lives in so many ways. As the wise men said in Matthew 2:2, “we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship Him.” On this Thanksgiving weekend, Dave and Reb encourage listeners to take some time to reflect on who God is, and to thank Him for what He means in our lives!
“This is the season to look for His Shining Star, to rise up, give thanks, and worship Him, just as the wise men taught us,” Reb says. “It may not be Christmas, but it is always the season to give thanks and worship Him.”
