"Life does not consist in the abundance of possessions." In this message on materialism, Andrew Schey echoes the words of Jesus to wake us up to the reality that a life spent pursuing possessions is a life chasing after a lie. Our desire for more, whether motivated by self-satisfaction or fear, competes with our desire for God and leaves us unprepared for eternity. Instead, life is found through generosity and personal responsibility for the least among us.
