“Money is like a powerful magnet that draws our hearts to wherever it is located. Jesus knew–and still knows–that our natural inclination is to trust money for our security and not Him, which means we will store up our treasure here, rather than invest it in the kingdom the way God desires. That’s why Jesus has to directly challenge us to place our treasure in the stuff of heaven rather than the stuff of earth.” (cf. Matthew 6:19-21).
