Jesus tells his disciples the parable of the RICH FOOL. So this rich guy works and works and gets all these great "things" in life. But he gets so much that he needs to put it somewhere and decides to build a big storehouse for all his STUFF. Then Jesus calls him a fool because he will die the next day and questions, "To whom do your 'things' belong to now?" Jesus isn't saying DONT SAVE MONEY. He isn't saying THINGS ARE BAD. But he IS SAYING that in life, BALANCE what you value. There is a place for MONEY and there should also be a place for GOD. So make sure that when you set yourself off onto accomplishing goals, REMEMBER TO KEEP GOD IN THE CENTER OF YOUR DECISIONS with work, family, friends, the world. We leave our belongings on earth when we pass away, but bring with us the RELATIONSHIP we have with GOD.

But he IS SAYING that in life, BALANCE what you value. There is a place for MONEY and there should also be a place for GOD. So make sure that when you set yourself off onto accomplishing goals, REMEMBER TO KEEP GOD IN THE CENTER OF YOUR DECISIONS with work, family, friends, the world.
