1/6/13 Material Wealth

You know that saying “how much is enough, just a little more”. Today I came across a story in Bloomberg News about the 100 richest people in the world. There were some interesting statements in this story that brought my thoughts to a Biblical story.
In the Bible Luke chapter 12 verses 13-30 Jesus gave a warning about the sins of envy, covetousness, hording and vanity.
Jesus tells a story of a rich man destroying his full barns to build larger barns for holding his amassed material increase and for self fulfillment; including the envy of those without such wealth.
A great Biblical read and another reason our founders demanded Biblical teaching in all schools public and private, teaching character and personal moral; creating leaders to serve in public office, those willing to do right for the preservation of our Republic form of government.
