In countless ways, our culture tells us that wealth is the key to happiness. Even among Christians, the pursuit of money and comfort and ease can be a major blindspot. We live as if this world is all there is. However, as David Platt reminds us in this message from James 5:1–6, there’s a deceptive danger attached to worldly wealth. While money isn’t inherently evil, we can begin to live for things that are temporary while ignoring the things that will matter for all of eternity. Even if we don’t consider ourselves to be wealthy, we must be on guard against the desire for more. We should be eager to use our resources for the glory of God and the good of others.

Secret Church 25 is finally happening this April 11, and there’s still time to join us! For six hours, believers from all over the world will come together online to study the book of Matthew. We’ll discover how to make our lives count for what matters most and pray for the persecuted church. This is a night you don’t want to miss.
