Self-denial retread:

So Keller has an interesting statment in the midst of his study on Kingdom. He says we should live "significantly below" our means. In essence, this is the beginning of self-denial. Do you consider how you might use money before you consider how others might benefit? Do you allow the world to tell you how money and the stuff it buys provide security? Do you have to internally justify your level of consumption or saving (in other words, do you have to try to justify stealing from others)? It's simple and yet excruciatingly difficult - you need to deny yourself. I'm not talking about delayed gratification or simply putting off your desires to a later date. Self-denial is, at its essence, an acknowledgement of Truth - your needs have been met on the cross. Your eternal status is secure. You need no other assurance than what is revealed in the life and death and life of Jesus. Apart from that, you have nothing no matter how much crap is piled around you. With that assurance you have everything - even if you're naked and homeless and in pain (know anyone like that?).
