Jesus teaches us not to let the cares of the world and the lure of wealth choke out our relationship with God.
Matthew 13:22 22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the lure of wealth choke the word, and it yields nothing.
Do we ignore Jesus' teaching not to allow the cares of the world and the lure of wealth to choke out his word?
Note: When we don't let the message about the kingdom to control us, life will begin to have too many other commitments that slowly choke us. We will never mature and bear fruit. Worries about worldly things or devotion to wealth snuff out spiritual life.
1 Timothy 6:9-11 9 But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains. 11 But as for you, man of God, shun all this; pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.
