Mark Brooks asks "What are recessions good for?"
Mark Brooks is president of The Charis Group and a friend. He e-mailed me about a conversation he had with a pastor recently about how to interpret our current economic condition in light of Romans 8:28.
Here are the conclusions Mark came to, but I want to encourage you to read his entire post.
What are recessions good for?
1. Recessions expose what we really love.
2. Recessions give us a chance to glorify God.
3. Recessions allow the church to be what God called us to be.
4. Recessions make us sensitive to the rest of the world that continually lives in recession.
5. Recessions wean us from materialism.
If you were asked the same question, how would you respond?
