Needs-based Christianity

A lot of Christians are so only and simply because of the hopes and promises they can cling to. The only reason we are spiritual is that we are broke and oppressed, and professing a sense of spirituality is the only 'high' we get out of this life: it is the only place in which we can claim to be superior over others. 

If your relationship with God is based on only this, then it is time for a review. Why? Because the minute your fortunes change, Christianity becomes useless to you, as it was only an anchor for material things. 

Build a relationship with God outside of your own needs and desires: move on to the level where you are partnering with Him about fulfilling HIS own needs and desires for you and others in the world.
