     | 1,520 views

    beware of the trap of collecting 'things' that make you want to collect more

    Jesus said, “Take Care! Watch Out! Beware!” Jesus said, "Watch Out! Don't always be wishing for what you don't have. For real life and real living are not related to how rich we are." (Luke 12:15) This is a very appropriate warning to people in America; we seem to be obsessed ...read more

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 5, 2022
     | 2,388 views

    Rabbi Abraham Joshua Herschel wrote: “Much of the Bible’s demands can be comprised in one word … Remember” … which is why God commanded us to set up special days and special celebrations and activities … to “remember.”

    “Mah nishtanah ha-lailah hazeh mikol ha-leilot?” Recognize it? If you were Jewish you would recognize it instantly. It is the question that the youngest child or person at the table asks at the beginning of every Passover or “Pesach” ceremony: “Why is this night different from all other ...read more

    From the standpoint of material wealth, Americans have difficulty realizing how rich we are.

    "From the standpoint of material wealth, Americans have difficulty realizing how rich we are. Going through a little mental exercise suggested by Robert Heilbroner can help us to count our blessings, however.

    A Warning That Bears Repeating

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 10, 2022
     | 1,853 views

    As the days draw nearer for the Lord's promised return, more people are choosing the wealth of the world rather than taking care of the most precious commodity they have, and that is their soul. Nothing of this world is worth the loss of eternal life with Christ.

    Some time ago, I watched a series of programs that the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) had produced which centered on a variety of individuals who had encountered the Lord Jesus Christ at some point in their lives yet walked away with nothing more than faint curiosity, some conversation, or ...read more

     | 2,539 views

    The Scriptures tell us, "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring." (Proverbs 27:1). Too many people in these last days forget that they may not have tomorrow. The time to be prepared to meet God is now.

    All of us at one time have put things off until the last minute, such as the writing of a research paper for school or studying for exams. We put off important decisions at our place of work, or filing tax returns, buying your family Christmas presents on or near Christmas Eve, or asking that ...read more

    We are the people living in stone houses. And Jesus is challenging us with this teaching.

    Some Blog writers collect lists of humorous First World Problems, like Losing the TV Remote, Being Hungry But Not For Any Of The Food In Your Fridge, your walk-in closet is not big enough.

     | 3,551 views

    A poor man brought the first fruits of his land in a sack during famine for Elisha, but God multiplied that to feed 100 men and probably more. This miracle shows the abundance of God. God is no man’s debtor. Lovely Story.

    Keep God In The Calculations

    Contributed by David Nolte on Jul 18, 2022
     | 3,283 views

    People often figure out what to add to, or subtract from, their lives. They try to multiply, or divide, pursuits in life. They often leave God out of the calculations.

    Perhaps it began with marks in the dirt, then progressed to piles of stones, and then somewhere along the line came the abacus, but men have always had a means of calculating debts, payments and other quantities. These days we have desk calculators, computers, smart phones and even watches that ...read more

    A sermon about priorities.

    “Where Can I Put My Stuff?” Luke 12:13-21 In a monologue, a comedian talks about our obsession with the accumulation of material possessions, and the modern anxiety for which it is both the cause and result: “You got your stuff with you?” he asks his audience. “Guys have stuff in their ...read more

    Therefore, Do Not Be Anxious!

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 11, 2021
     | 4,173 views

    Jesus isn't simply telling us not to be anxious. He's calling us to have a completely different attitude towards material possessions and material needs from the rich fool; to be confident in God and in that confidence, to be rich towards God and others.

    ‘Do not be anxious.’ That’s what Jesus told his disciples. If only! we might think. Can we banish anxiety from our hearts simply because Jesus tells us to? We’re in a series in Luke, following Jesus and his disciples on their journey from Galilee down to Jerusalem. Their journey starts in Luke ...read more

    Have you ever had “I” trouble? What can cause “I” trouble? Three things come to mine: Displacement, Distraction, and Distortion.

    Luke 12:13-21  Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”  (14)  But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?”  (15)  And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all ...read more

    This is the first of four messages looking at the Parable of the Foolish Rich Man. It was part of our annual Money Month

    When you think of a treasure, what crosses your mind? Perhaps something buried by a pirate? When I was a boy, when I thought about treasure, I thought about Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver from Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel “Treasure Island”. By the way, Long John Silver was the ship’s cook, not ...read more

    Anything that that pulls us a way from God is dangerous to our spiritual health and well-being. What will degrade our stewardship to God? Greed. The Bible calls it covetousness.
