"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
In today's society, especially in America, everything is really just about sex and money. You can't escape the lures of these two things being flashed before your eyes. These things are like fishing lures to us. They are shiny and enticing. They are presented to us to make us believe they are real. However like a fishing lure, once caught on the hooks its difficult to escape. This passage was the passage we used for coffee house. I like it a lot because it really talks to us college students. Its really dangerous for us to really want money so badly. The real reason why I went into pharmacy was because of the money. There were other reasons, but the big one was - money. I am beginning to see that the world offers only that, and thats it. God offers so much more. He offers us treasures in Heaven! Not to say that we're going to be buying stuff in heaven with heaven currency. But we will be full of Gods greatness and blessings. How awesome would that be. Let us stay away from the pursuit of money, and focus on the real treasure - God!
