Stuff = Not born again ?

If your first reaction was "no" to the title maybe you have too much stuff!

Sometimes I think to myself "it is so hard to be a Christian in this country, because we have so much stuff" we have stuff everywhere, our goal in America is getting more stuff, being more secure in our stuff , trying to get other peoples stuff, and all that stuff gets in the way of God and of Christ. Do you ever stop to think of all the things you would put before reading your Bible. We think of our Bible as a Book. How often do we put things in front of simply reading our Bible? oh I have to get ready to go to work, I want to watch TV, let's go out to eat, I'm going to bed early, let's go on a bike ride, or a walk. How often do we put things before reading God's Word to us!

Think of how many things you have in your house in your life that mean nothing on the day of judgment. When Christ comes back the things that mean absolutely nothing! I can go down the list, just as easily as anybody else. As Christians we should have nothing we place before Christ and all things that compete with Christ in our lives should be pushed away!
