MASTERING MATERIALISM
PART I
(MATTHEW 5 - 7)
JESUS CHRIST said, "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on
earth ..." (Matthew 6: 19, 20).
He further said, Unless your righteousness exceeds the
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means
enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5: 20).
Therefore, in order to know what the righteousness is that ours

don't kill, don't commit adultery, etc.
Moral issues are more than what you do or don't do; they are
what you think and what you don't think.
5. THE RIGHT VIEW OF RELIGIOUS ISSUES 6: 1 - 18
The Pharisees were fasting, praying, and giving. However, they
were very hypocritical.
It is proper to do these things but with the right motive and
spirit.
6. THE RIGHT VIEW OF WEALTH AND NECESSITIES 6: 19 - 34
