Ben says: "I can add meaning to your life, but I'm not the meaning of life.”
Ben says: “Use me as a means to and end that isn’t you.”
To what ends do you want your life to be a means?
Ben says: “Your self control determines who or what gets control of your life.”
Ben says: “It isn't about how much you have, it’s about what you do with what you have.”
We say: “If only I had more money.”
Ben says: “If only you had more self-control.”
Ben says: “I always go where you send me”

Nobody wants to be mastered by an appetite
Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters.
Matthew 6:24 You cannot serve both God and money.
Jesus, viewed money (and what it represents) as the chief competitor for our hearts
Do you have money, or does money have you?
Everyone runs the risk of making money (and what it represents) their Lord
If we haven’t surrendered what we have, we haven’t really surrendered
This is not about either/or.......this is about priorities
Flip the script: Others first and me second
This is not about either/or.......this is about one and two
When you put you first, you have a difficult time saying “no" to you
We were created to seek first our Creator
Get this out of order and their will be disorder
Flip the script
Traditional Script: Live, Save, Give
Others first script: Give, Save, live on the rest
Charles Duhigg (The Power of Habit)
Keystone habit
Keystone habits have a ripple effect into other parts of life, creating positive change
unexpectedly
Do we put others first in arena of our money and our possessions?
Jesus is after your heart
FIRST: Pick a percentage and give it away as soon as you get paid
SECOND: Pay attention to the internal tension this creates in you
Pay attention to the internal tension to discover what is at the center of the resistance
Who or what is going to be the master and the Lord of your life?
Ben says: “I’m a much better servant than master.”
Are you a follower or a user?
Are you a follower or a user?
Flip he script
Others first script: Give, Save, live on the rest
BEN says: “I always go where you send me. So SEND ME AWAY FIRST.”
