The Menace of Materialism (2 of 6)
Series: Living a Christian Life in an "X" Rated Society

Luke 12:15; Proverbs 27:20
We are in a series on "Living A Christian Life In An X-Rated Society". And one of the things that we wand to address is the fact that believers often find themselves in tension when trying to live according to principles and values that we believe and hold dear in this world. Do you ever find that you are going against the flow when you stand up for what is right and you live according to what you have been taught and believe?

But it is not new, Jesus addressed it in many of His parables. Did you know that over a fourth of the parables of Jesus had to do with materialism and how a believer is to live in relation with material things?
A man's value is not measured by his valuables. A man's person cannot be measured by his possessions. How could anybody escape materialism today in modern America? It seems that the desire and the quest for more is constantly placed before us and we never have enough things. The average American spends $1300.00 and he only makes $1000.00. In other words, he spends $1300 for every $1000 he makes. And we are in an economic crisis today and under pressure today ...
