I wonder what you consider the most valuable thing you can have? Some would say, “family”. Certainly, Family is very valuable. A lot more people when it gets down to it really value “pleasure” even more. That is why, if the marriage is miserable, many people will eventually adopt the attitude that divorce is the solution. By divorcing, they hope to have the chance to rebuild a happy life again. The love of pleasure can manifest itself in thousands of different ways. There is no doubt that for many, it is the supreme value. And doubtless many of those people would call themselves Christians also.

For some, money is the supreme value. Now I know that as Christians we would never say it so openly. But as the saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words”. What are we really spending most of our effort on, if not for money?
