Neither silver nor gold will deliver them

"Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath..." - Zephaniah 1v18

It is sad today that so much of the world today is "running a hundred miles and hour in the wrong direction." Everything about their lives is focused on getting and having more land, money, houses, cars, possessions, and "stuff" in general. It is even sadder that God's people get caught up in the same trap. Churches are full of folks who spend most of their time trying to get more and more things while leaving God on the shelf.

At the end of the day all of that stuff is not going to mean anything. The only thing that is important is our love for God and our love for others. That is, after all, the great commandment that Jesus gave.

Lets make sure that we have our focus always in the right place. All of these temporal things are going to be gone one day.
