Matthew 6:20---Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.
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 of the abundance of things he possesses. In his study of power, Adolf
Berle points out that riches often make people solitary and lonely and, of
course, afraid. Usually, a rich man knows loneliness and fear because when he
makes wealth his god instead of 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.
