Professional Christianity is a religion of possessions that are devoted to God; the religion of Jesus Christ is a religion a personal relationship to God, and has nothing whatever to do with possessions. The disciple is rich not in possessions, but in personal identity. Voluntary poverty was the marked condition of Jesus (Lk. 9:58; 2 Cor. 8:9). . . The scare of poverty will knock the spiritual backbone out of us unless we have a relationship that holds. The attitude of Our Lords life was that He was disconnected with everything to do with things that chain people down to this world, consequently He could go wherever His Father wanted Him to. Oswald Chambers, Approved Unto God, 24
