Say No To Materialism

People are way to obsessed with materialistic things. What really triggered this post is something I heard the other day. I heard that some people from the plane that landed in the Hudson are getting together and suing the airline. Here they are lucky to be alive and rather then being thankful they see it as a way to gain material riches. It makes me sick really. Someone that called into a radio station I was listening to gave the best example of why this is ridiculous. The caller was a long haul trucker and as he stated other cars cut him off and pass on the right and do any number of things that put him in danger on a daily basis. So should he right down the license plate numbers of all those drivers in order to track them down and sue them? No, danger is a part of everyday life. The only reason these people are suing is they have made material wealth their idol. There is only one God and you can't worship Him as well as other things. It is stuff like this that makes me think this world is going down hill fast. I only hope there are more people like me who just don't speak up so much.

1 Peter 5:10 "And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you."
