Member’s Only

Aug 21, 2011    Chris Edmondson    Luke 12:1, 13-34

At one time or another, all of us have based our self esteem on the labels sewn into our clothes. Member's Only. Izod. Abercrombie. Labels identify things…and people. We can choose to base our identity on the labels sewn into our jeans, what kind of car we drive, or where our house is located. When we allow our stuff to define us, we don’t experience the life that God wants us to experience. We don’t experience satisfaction. Ecclesiastes 5:10. In that verse we read, “Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.” Jesus knew this. That’s why so much attention is placed on money and stuff. Jesus talked more about that topic than He did heaven, hell, prayer, or faith combined!
