When Money Means Everything

by Zeke Flores

I know a guy to whom money means everything. He's not rich, but he is very well off and has everything he wants - a nice house, new cars, a beautiful family, and lots of toys - but he doesn't have Christ. His reasoning is, "I have everything I want; what can religion possibly add to me?"

How would you answer him? How can someone whose eyes are on the physical be convinced that the unseen realm of spirituality is worth prioritizing? It seems to me that there are many like my friend, people whose possessions never truly make them rich and whose sights are always just a bit too low.

And so, they miss the real riches.

"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he wa rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich" (II Corinthians 8:9).
