How can we recognize if we're falling into materialism's trap? Christ's words were direct and profound: "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also". What we do with our possessions is a sure indicator of what's in our hearts. Jesus is saying, "Show me your checkbook, your credit card statement, and your receipts for cash expenditures, and I'll show you where your heart is. " What we do with our money doesn't lie. It is a bold statement to God of what we truly value.

When Jesus warns us not to store up treasures on earth, it's not just because wealth might be lost; it's because wealth will always be lost. Either it leaves us while we live, or we leave it when we die. No exceptions. . . . Realizing its value is temporary should radically affect our investment strategy. . . . According to Jesus, storing up earthly treasures isn't simply wrong. It's just plain stupid.
