“Life Consist Of…”

Blessing Folk!

Today’s reading:

Luke 12:13-15

Here is a Word that most of the western church rejects.

If one views from outside the confines of religious thought, then it is obvious that abundance is a “god” of many who profess to be Believers.

Abundance of material possessions.
Abundance of power.
Abundance of numerical participation.
Abundance of...well, you get the idea.

Jesus warns us.
Beware!
Be on guard!

Beware and be on guard against every form of greed.
Note that greed comes in various forms.

In this particular situation it was a family squabble related to inheritance.

Heed the warning of the Lord.
Heed the Word of the Lord.

Life does not consist of possessions.

What should we do?

The Word tells us that if we are blessed with abundance, it is for the purpose of meeting the needs of others...beginning with the household of faith.

Covet not.
Share much.
