The Danger of Materialism (Luke 12:13-21)

This message will encourage anyone who is struggling with suffering and heartache. Romans 8:26-29 speaks of the wonderful partnership we have with God in Christ. He brings us into a partnership with the Spirit and the Father and this makes all the difference in how we make it through the hard times.

While serving in Fairview, Alberta, Canada, my mentor Keith Hale told me one time, “Vic, if God is your Partner, then make your plans big.” Likewise, the famous evangelist from the past, D.L. Moody used to say, “God gives us dreams a size too big, so that we can grow into them.”

Romans chapter 8 is one of the greatest chapters in the Bible. The passage we are about to examine is preceded by a section focused on our eternal hope in Christ. As we move into the next section, 8:26-29 Paul transitions from eternal hope to present help.

Infusion into Our Weaknesses, v. 26

Inability of Our Wisdom, v. 26

Intercession beyond Our Words, v. 26

Initiative beyond Our Wants, v. 27

Interlocked with God’s Will, v. 27

Love Without End (Romans 8:31-39)

What does a Garden Snail, a Banana Slug and a Three-Toed Sloth have in common? They all three either prefer to remain completely still, or when they move, it is always very, very slowly.

Now, what about if you compared a slug or a sloth with an ant? Are they similar or different? Let’s go to the Scriptures to answer this question. Proverbs 6:6-11 contrasts an idle sluggard with an industrious ant. In our text for today, we will see that there is a lot that a sluggard can learn from an ant.

Proverbs often exposes the dangers of a listless, motionless lifestyle by referring to this kind of person as a “sluggard” 14x (6:6-11; 10:26; 12:24, 27; 13:4; 15:9; 18:9; 19:15, 24; 20:4; 21:5, 25; 22:13; 24:33-34; 26:13-16).

Let’s enroll in a class in myrmecology for a few minutes and see what a sluggard can learn from an ant.

Cure of the Sluggard, v. 6a

Consideration of the Ant, v. 6b

Catalyst for Work, 6:7

Constancy of Effort, 6:8

Confrontation of Laziness, 6:9

Coasting toward a Habit, 6:10

Conclusion in Poverty, 6:11
