Where is your treasure?

There is a problem that I see very apparent in believers today. It's a problem that only church seems to have right now. It's called loyalty. People are not loyal to the church or to God if you measure it against other things. Think about it, the average church goer probably misses more church services in a year than their favorite television show. We are far more loyal to a tv show, to our favorite sports teams and to other things in life than to God.The following verses have a lot in them, but the overtones for the whole thing is loyalty. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also?

Matthew 6:19-24 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

What do you treasure? What is it that your heart longs for, what is the priority on your calendar for tomorrow, next weekend, next week? Is it God, or is it your favorite tv show? Think about the way this set of verses is stated directly by Jesus Himself. You cannot serve both God and money, you cannot be devoted to more than one thing either.

I am a pastor, I am overly excited about Night of Fire the biggest race that my dad and I race in all year long. It is this Saturday, but I promise you Sunday will still be the highlight of my weekend without a doubt.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
