Deceitfulness of Wealth

Mark 4

¹⁸ Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; ¹⁹ but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.

Wealth is deceitful.

Its lies: “you will be happy when you have me. You won’t need God if you have me. I am the only thing you need to pursue. Worship me!”

God’s truth: There’s no peace like what God offers! Contentment is only in His presence. Worship God only!
