“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where
moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
From Background Notes [BN] for Nov 14th & 15th written by
Pastor Bob Brown:
Our series concludes
this week with an even more pernicious form of confederate value, one that
derives its value through selfish accumulation in a “selfie” world.
Ordinary material
possessions morph into confederate ones when human beings revolt against the
King of heaven, a mutiny which surpasses the national divisions which dominated
the American civil war. There is, you see, another war raging in the hearts of
humanity, fueled by the false belief that everything belongs to us to do with
as we alone see fit. While the ideals of western democracies hold tightly to
the importance of “private property,” there rises from this idea a confederate
one that diminishes the importance of much higher values — values that honor
the common good. We live in this tension, and the results vex us every day. [BN,1]
