The biblical text of Luke 12:15-21 was the inspiration for Pastor Mark Abney’s message Rich Man, Poor Man. In this scripture Jesus gives us a stern warning: Be on guard against greed. At what point does accumulating “things” become greed? When your main drive in life is seeking things more than seeking God, it becomes covetousness or greed. So how can we be “rich” towards God? Use the things God gives you wisely, and help the poor and unfortunate.
