What do you think of when you think of materialist?
Billionaires driving around in Lamborghinis, vacationing in the French Riviera, or hanging out in their New York penthouse.
The one image that doesn’t come to mind is someone going to church.
For most people, materialism is the opposite of spirituality.
The true materialistic person is a very spiritual person; it’s just that he or she has turned material wealth into a spiritual pursuit, which the Bible calls idolatry.
This might come as a surprise, but you don’t have to be wealthy to be a materialist.
You can be dirt-poor and still charm that distinction. Why?
Because a materialist isn’t made by the amount of stuff owned but rather whether that stuff, great or small, owns you.
A materialist refuses to believe that the promise money makes are really just lies.
Join us as Dr. Chuck Jonas shows us how to cross the mountain from materialism to contentment.
