God asks a searching question. 

“Whose will those things be which you have provided?”

-Luke 12:20 NKJV

Fear is never the best motivator.

“But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’” 

- Luke 12:20 NKJV

He forgot why he was on the earth.

“Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.”

- Luke 12:19 NKJV

Success can be failure.

“He said, ‘This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.’”

- Luke 12:18 KJV

Who did he consult? 

“He thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?’”

- Luke 12:17 KJV

There comes a time…

“Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

- John 4:42 NKJV

You have ample evidence.

“Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.”

-John 4:48 RSV

Stuck in the past?

What colors your life?

Conflicts and causes come along…
