The Chaplain's Corner




Chaplain Paul is one of the most effective chaplains in America today. He is an emergency responder to every situation.



Hey, this is the Chaplain again. I saw a bumper sticker that said,

"He who dies with the most toys wins."

That’s so tragically sad, but a lot of folks seem to believe it. Or at least the way they live sure indicates that they believe it. And a lot of Christians have been caught up in that mindset.

We have just got to have a new . . . whatever. Can I tell you something, just because your neighbor has one, just because the ads on TV say you can’t live without it, doesn’t make it so. We have become obsessed with stuff; things that we just have to have. Not because we need them, no; because we want them.

May I tell you the truth, many of us as Christians have lost our eternal perspective. Our vision is on the here-and-now and not on the hereafter. May I remind you of what Jesus said,

“Don't hoard treasure down here... Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it's safe from moth and rust and burglars. It's obvious, isn't it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be.” (Mat. 6:19-21 the Message)

And what are the treasures we can have in heaven? Souls, the eternal souls of people that we influence for the Lord. People that will spend eternity in heaven because of our efforts to lead them to Christ. So let me ask you, are you collecting stuff for yourself, or souls for Jesus?

God bless you.
