How Are You Storing Your Stuff?

There seems to be a bit of irony to the fact that we have new construction of storage units right next door to our church… According to the Self Storage Association, the country now possesses some nearly 2 billion square feet of personal storage. All this space is contained in nearly 40,000 facilities owned and operated by more than 2,000 entrepreneurs, including a handful of publicly traded giants. What is all this craziness about? We Americans enjoy our stuff and are running out of room to store it. Scripture challenges us in this regard. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 6:20, “Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.” The battle continues to rage between materialism and missions, greed and the spread of the gospel. Consider what you can do without for the sake of another dollar towards the more valuable matter - eternity!
