How do we judge the success of our lives? If we are like the secular people who surround us then it would be by the money we have accumulated, the size of our homes, and perhaps the number of children we have, or the power we wield over those who we employee. Do we as Christians covet what those who live only in the world call wealth? Are we working long hours to live a few short years in luxury, only to lose it all in the moment of our death?
