More, More, and More!
“Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven”.Matthew 6:20.
Many young people are building their lives on the rock of materialism.
I find across the country a deep economic discontent among people in every walk of life.
People want more and more things.
We want more, more, and more!
But Jesus said:
“You cannot serve God and money.”
He said that a man’s life does not consist-
– in the abundance of the things that he possesses.
Adolf Berle, in his study of power, points out that riches often make people solitary and lonely and,of course, afraid.
Many times a rich man knows loneliness and fear-
– because when he makes wealth his god, it leaves him empty.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness-
– and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33.
