Forgiveness is a vital part of our Christian faith. Unfortunately, many of us hold grudges against others who may have harmed us in some way.

When it comes to greed, it seems that no matter how much a person has, it is never enough; they always want more. Those who genuinely believe that owning the most expensive home, driving the most luxurious car, and wearing only designer clothes made from the finest materials equate to success and bestow a sense of power are mistaken. True happiness is achieved only when we are loved and appreciated for who we are, and most importantly, blessed by our Lord. Tune into this episode and let Art explain why, as Christians, we need to avoid greed; our faith calls for acts of generosity and kindness, while greed leads us down the path of the devil. Listen to this episode of “Let Go and Let God” and discover how it is perfectly fine to have nice things and be successful, but we live happier lives when we do not let our desires for wealth and possessions take precedence over what truly matters, like our relationships with family and, most importantly, our God.

Each of us will achieve many accomplishments in our lives. When we accomplish something, it’s perfectly fine to feel happy, but first, we must thank the Lord because everything we achieve in this life would not have been possible without the Lord granting us life and blessing us with the unique qualities that define us. Before we allow pride to take over, we need to “Drop the Ego." In the Christian community, there is no room for conceit, vanity, or for placing ourselves above others, believing we are superior to them. Tune into this episode to hear Art explain why it’s essential to remain humble about our successes and express gratitude to our Lord. The more thankful we are, the more likely the Lord is to provide us with additional opportunities for success. Listen to this episode of “Let Go and Let God" to discover why we need to “Drop the Ego" and remain humble, following the laws and commands of our God. When we do, we lead much happier lives.
