Luke 18:18-30.  Tony van Drimmelen.  We have everything we need and more!  For most of the world, our debts and our financial problems would be welcome luxuries.  With wealth comes some real dangers and what we do with our wealth can harm the spiritual health of ourselves, our families and our church.  When the desire for more and more wealth is all we think about, our significance and security have come to depend on our wealth.  This is the issue facing the rich, young ruler.  What Jesus says to him is confronting to all of us.  But Jesus also reminds us, regardless of who we are, that God can do the impossible in our hearts (v. 27).  And when He does, that changes where our significance and security rests -- wealth no longer has a hold on our hearts.
