And Jesus said to them, ‘Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.’
---- mine,
The world and those of the world who give no thought or credence to spiritual things promote and proclaim a gospel of death. They propagate the lie that possessing worldly goods will make them happy. But the truth paradoxically is that the more one endeavors to feverishly possess the things of the world the emptier and unhappier one becomes. No one can serve God and the gods of the world, not only is this idolatry but it is impossible to be loyal to two masters. The truly joyous person is one who is wholly and unashamedly attached to God and believes the world is well lost for My sake and for the sake of God's Kingdom.
