Luke 12:15 (KJV)
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
One of the most common arguments I receive against my faith these days is the denial of life after death.
Never mind whether there is a God—
The objection in this “enlightened” age is not just against God but against anything beyond the present moment. Science, they are sure, has proven that we are no more than animals and that, just like animals, our lives mean nothing beyond what we experience today.
This reasoning necessarily leads to covetousness because it suggests that life consists only of what we enjoy in the moment.
Observe the result:
• Crime
• Immorality
• Division on a scale rarely seen
• Alternative lifestyles
• Gender confusion
There is little that the mind of man cannot imagine when it is loosed from its anchor—God.
Our lives, yours and mine, consist of more than the abundance of material things we collect on this planet. It is not the Lord’s purpose to help us gain or lose earthly possessions.
A man’s life consists in his relationship with God. Therefore, the only riches worth laying up are those we possess before Him.
