What are we pursuing? What are we after? Would your answer to this question match the answer of your spouse or your children? The world prioritizes wealth, power, and fame. The Declaration of Independence states that all men are created equal and are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Often, we twist that last part to mean that we can do what makes us happy. To the founding fathers who penned those words, happiness was family, opportunity, and freedom to govern themselves in a way that had not been known under colonial rule. If we pursue happiness in the way the world defines it, we are governed by emotions that will eventually disappoint and leave us wanting. The things the world defines as happiness are temporal. We award trophies for accomplishments. Sports, The Art, cook-offs, and many other activities present awards, certificates, plaques, and trophies for being the best or coming in first in a competition. Awards are fine, and the temporary recognition for an accomplishment is nice, but if that becomes the goal in life, what have we accomplished? If you win the county fair apple pie contest, you have the blue ribbon to commemorate that, but what will that mean many years later? The blue ribbon mattered in the moment, but over time, that will be forgotten, and someone else will win the prize. Trophies do not last forever. We must chase after things that are worth it. Some will ask, "Don't I deserve to be happy? Can't I pursue winning the prize?" Sure, you can, but at what cost? The Bible has many stories of people who pursued what made them happy, but at a high price: Eve, Lot, Saul, David, Esau, and Judas all traded much for a very temporary reward. Our text asks, "What does it profit a man to win if it costs him his soul?" If we win awards, but neglect Jesus, it is all for naught. Trophies are temporal, but crowns are eternal. Trophies represent moments, but crowns represent a lifetime.

We all want stuff. Then we want more stuff. When we get too much stuff, we get a storage unit…..to store our stuff. There is a thing called retail therapy. It is the feeling we get when we initially purchase something that we want to make us happy. The brain releases dopamine, a chemical in the brain linked to pleasure and reward. But it wears off. It doesn’t last.

Jesus spoke often about the Kingdom of Heaven. All of us want to get to heaven, and we pray for all of our family and friends who are lost to make it, too. Anything less than all of our family making it to heaven is unacceptable. We must ensure that our children and grandchildren hear about and know how to reach the kingdom. In all that John saw in the book of Revelation, he did not mention anyone asking for explanations for what happened on Earth. He saw people bowing, singing, and worshiping! God denied people with a complaining spirit entry to the promised land. Why would he let people with that kind of spirit into heaven? We must focus our sights on the prize and not be distracted by the things of this world that will all fade away. It is not enough to get to heaven; we must do all we can to ensure that our family, friends, brothers, and sisters make it, too. We must look forward to a day when we all get to heaven.

This is the first in a three part series on Spiritual Estate Planning. If I haven’t lost you yet, I will be going through three aspects of earthly estate planning and showing how they relate to spiritual estate planning. This series can set you up for life in how you work with God, your estate advisor and reach goals that are out of this world. Investments, Insurance and Inheritance are the three areas that will be examined. First Investments. Caution, Crypto Ahead. The first part of the series is on investing. In 2022, a crypto currency exchange, FTX filed for bankruptcy. According to Fortune.com, FTX had 60 billion dollars and lost 51 billion. The day before the bankruptcy filing, FTX allowed 1500 people in the Bahamas to withdraw approximately 100 million according to MSNBC. I bet you couldn’t even think of having 51 billion dollars, much less losing it. The scriptures do not teach against being rich or investing, but they are clear on where we are to store or build wealth primarily.

Jesus makes a very strong, but important, point in this text. Those whose hearts are focused on submission to God's rule will gain riches in heave, the riches of HIS kingdom. Those whose hearts are focus on their own wealth, status, and possessions will gain the failed treasure of this world ... and nothing more. One's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.

God wants to lead us to discover real treasure as we move financially from struggling, to stable, to surrender, to sacrifice.

Why give to the church – not only our time, but a considered, thoughtful percentage of our income as well? Why give our money – as well as our time – to the church? Rev. Dr. Larry Hayward preaches from Matthew 6:19-21.
