Preacher post: We are living in a material world


I was relaxing at Starbucks yesterday with a cup of soy green tea latte whilst reading the Daily Bread and came across this saying, "People these days know the price of everything but the value of nothing".

It struck a chord with me because being part of a generation of computers, television and non-face-to-face communication, relationships are beginning to change. People are becoming greedier and greedier and are allowing themselves to become subservient to money and material possessions.

How many cars can we drive? How many pairs of shoes can we wear? How many bags can we carry? How many handphones and Ipods can we use? Material things make us happy only momentarily, and then the instant something new comes along, our focus shifts and our hearts are longing for the faster car or the latest gadgets. We're never satisfied.

So how long can this chase last? I don't know, but it's so easy for one to get caught up in it.

Whilst riches on earth last momentarily, treasures in heaven last an eternity. Jesus said, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses" ~Luke 12:15.

How much have you saved up in heaven so far?
