Junk mail and advertising of all kinds tempts me to purchase more desirable “stuff” on sale. My conscience nudges me with a question: “Do I really need it? WilI I be any happier if I have it in my barn/wardrobe?”
As he tenderly reassured his disciples about the unknown future, Jesus said: “Where your treasure is, there your heart is also.” (Luke 12:32)
I count the treasures of my heart. Family. Faithful friends. The all-embracing, forgiving love of God who meets all of my needs.
Prayer
Lord, above all things, I treasure your presence in my heart and in my life, and in the knowledge of your grace in forgiving me. Amen.

Paul tries to create some “audiovisual aids” for this big message, which he calls “churches” (a term Jesus used only twice, found in Matthew 16:18 and 18:17). Paul knows we need living, visible models of this new kind of life to make evident that Christ’s people really follow a way different from mass consciousness.
