     | 496 views

    How many of us follow the rich fool's lead and build bigger barns by finding new avenues for our investments, as though this life is all that matters? Jesus tells us to beware of all kinds of greed, including being greedy with our own possessions.

    There are some Bible passages which will forever be associated with vivid personal experiences. And today, as we consider the Parable of the Rich Fool, we have encountered one of those passages. My experience with it dates from nearly 40 years ago. In the spring of 1986 I was preparing to ...read more
