"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."
Jim Elliot
"He who provides for this life, but makes no care for eternity, is wise for a moment, but a fool forever."
Tillotson
(Luke 12:15 NIV) Then he said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
(Luke 12:16 NIV) And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop.
(Luke 12:17 NIV) He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.'
(Luke 12:18 NIV) "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
(Luke 12:19 NIV) And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."'
(Luke 12:20 NIV) "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'
