"He who dies with the most toys still dies - and never takes his toys with him"
--Randy Alcorn

"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field." Matthew 13:44 

What are the major pitfalls?

1. Believing earth is home. 

2. Living for the dot.  (A very short portion of an infinite amount of time - eternity)

How do we protect ourselves from the pitfalls?

3.  Live for the line. (eternity)

Questions to Consider: 

• Do you believe you deserve the stuff you have?
• Is your security in what you possess?
• Do you consistently acknowledge God as provider of your needs?
