Luke 12:13-21
13 Someone in the crowd said to him, Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me. 14 Jesus replied, Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?
Luke 12:13-21
15 Then he said to them, Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions. 16 And he told them this parable: The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest.
Luke 12:13-21
17 He thought to himself, What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops. 18 Then he said, This is what Ill do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain.
Luke 12:13-21
19 And Ill say to myself, You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry. 20 But God said to him, You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?
Luke 12:13-21
21 This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.
Why?
Because He knew that no answer He gave would solve the real problem, which was covetousness in the hearts of the two brothers.
Like too many people today, they wanted Jesus to serve them but not to save them.
COVETOUSNESS is an
unquenchable thirst for getting more and more of something we think we need in order to be truly satisfied. It may be a thirst for money or the things that money can buy, or even a thirst for position and power. [ADDICTION]
Jesus made it clear that true life does not depend on an abundance of possessions. He did not deny that we have certain basic needs (Matthew 6:32; 1 Timothy 6:17). He only affirmed that we will not make life richer by acquiring more of these things. Mark Twain once defined civilization as a limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities, and he was right.
In fact, many Christians are infected with covetousness and do not know it. They think that Pauls admonition in 1 Timothy 6 applies only to the rich and famous. Jesus told this parable to REVEAL the dangers that lurk in a covetous heart. As you read it, test your own responses to this farmers various experiences.
If you do not DO THIS, you will be in a perilous path The PERILS of PROSPERITY: Proverbs 30:7-9; The CHOKING of the Word of God: Matthew 13::22; The CREATION of SNARES and more TEMPTATIONS: 1 Timothy 6:6-10, 1719, giving you a false sense of security.
Today, in our country, we see transformation happening as we see new Godly leaders emerging. In our currency we declare our dependence on God! "Faith in our people and Faith in God" Pinagpala ang bayan na ang diyos ay Panginoon."
Pastor Ray del Rosario
New bills will be containing this direct quotation from the Christian Bible: Pinagpala ang bayan na ang Diyos ay ang Panginoon (Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord), which comes from Psalm 33:12. This statement can be found above the seal of the Republic of the Philippines.
Some critical thinkers believe that the emblazoning of this Biblical verse on Philippine currency is an affront to the religious diversity of our country and the separation of Church and State guaranteed by our Constitution.
bias on the part of certain sectors in our government so they are hereby calling upon the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to remove the quotation from the Bible from all legal Philippine tender.
The quotation from the Christian Old Testament and its placing on legal tender is a manifest violation of the Constitution and the right to religious freedom of the countrys citizens as it forces even non-Christians to participate in the distribution of explicitly Judeo-Christian material. As a body that represents all of its citizens, Christian or not, the Philippine government must be a secular one; it cannot champion the religious beliefs of any particular faith.
We hereby call upon the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to remove the quotation from the Bible from all legal Philippine tender.

-- MAAM ROSSINI and SIR ALEX
Being rich toward God is the opposite of treating the self as though it were made for things and not for God.
Being rich toward God therefore is the heart being drawn toward God as our riches. Rich toward God means
Again the issue isnt that the mans fields prospered. The issue is that God ceased to be his supreme treasure. If God had been his treasure what would he have done differently? Instead of saying, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry, he would have said something like,

UNLESS, you know Deuteronomy 8:18 it is God who gives us the ability to produce wealth.
Money is always a FAITH Issue. This should not be a taboo in church. If Jesus talked about it, we should too.
Newly minted rich man mismanages his money (and his life, for that matter).
Rich man goes back to becoming poor. And worse, the Once Rich-Poor Man is now in worse shape.
As you start tithing, you will see how God will bless you as you commit to this healthy financial stewardship practice called TITHING. THE RESULTS when YOU TITHE: Maturity, Growth and Stewardship
What is tithing?
The word "tithe" is derived from the Hebrew word ma'aser and it literally means a tenth. Ten percent of everything belongs to the Lord. In Malachi 3:10-11, God says, "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse that there may be food in my house. " The 'storehouse' is the Old Testament picture of the New Testament church. So as New Testament believers, we worship the Lord with the tithe; or the ten percent.
Offerings are any generous giving that you do over and above your tithe. And while your tithe is designated for the local church, an offering is for you to be generous wherever you see a need.
