#215: The Parable of the Rich Fool (Seek...

Sherilyn R. Grant and Christian Parenting
About this episode

Luke 12:13-34.

Jesus called the man who became rich in this life but not rich towards God a fool. There is nothing wrong with saving and building wealth, but if that is all we seek for our salvation and security, then we are considered fools. To be rich towards God is to seek Him first in all things, His righteousness, and all the things we need will be added unto us. God has promised He would provide as we put our trust in Him. It's time to do a heart check to see where our desires lie. Do you desire Jesus above all else?
