Riches

I was thinking about the verses below:

And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

Perhaps this is where God's blessing will be in the 'credit crunch', and people who have their riches removed will turn to Christ. It would be wonderful to see a revival in our day and generation.

Although the divide between the rich and poor in this country is ever-widening we are all rich compared to those in so many other countries. It is so easy to begin to rely on our possessions and trust in our wealth but at the end of time these will all come to nothing. The one thing that is certain is that at the end of our time we will leave this world naked, just as we came into it. All our riches will be as nothing unless we have eternal riches in heaven.

I was listening to something on the radio this evening where a man was complaining about how chastity education was taught in schools and creation instead of evolution in America. How nice it would be if that complaint could be made in the UK.
