12 Luke - The Problem with Consumerism

By Richard

The problem with consumerism is described fully in Luke 12: 22-34. A fixation on food and looks and material possessions takes our focus off God. We miss the greatest treasure of all, a loving Father in heaven who wants to look after us. God calls us to put all of our trusts in Him and enjoy all the benefits of a loving friendship with the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. When we do so all the worries and concerns of life will take their right perspective before God and we will be in a position to really live.
