Many young people are building their
lives on the rock of materialism.
I find across the country a deep
economic discontent among people in every walk of life.
People want more and more things.
They forget that we are enjoying the
highest standard of living the world has ever known.
We still have poverty, and hundreds
of agencies are trying to do something about it; but we are dissatisfied.
We want more, more, more.
But Jesus said, “You cannot serve God
and money.” He said that a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the
things that he possesses.
Adolf Berle, in his study of power,
points out that riches often make people solitary and lonely and, of course,
afraid.
Many times a rich man knows
loneliness and fear, because when he makes wealth his god, it leaves him empty.
You see, without God life loses its
zest and purpose and meaning.
With God nothing shall be impossible
to you.
His invitation is still come unto Me.
