Question
Hello Dr. Heath,
 I have been called upon to give an overview in regards to the scripture at Luke 12: 13-15, 21 and don't know where to start. can you help me.
 Thank you,
  Bob

Answer
Hello Bob,

A good question, as this issue is even more predomenent in the greed of life today

Jesus is talking to two brothers, who are fighting over their inhereitence, Jesus is warning them that even with all the possesions and money in the world, it will not give any value or worth to their lives.

They think it is all about the greed of material and earthly things that will enhance their lives, we know that it is not.

It is the same as saying that a rich man has all his wealth in the bank, he does not as it is the richness of faith, love and obedience to God that matters.

Hope this helps.

Regards and God Bless

Clive

Expertise

I can answer most questions on the subject of the Baptist/Christian faith. I am an active member of a Baptist Church Fellowship. I study the Bible and the Scriptures every day and have no problem talking to people about this. I am more than happy to answer the Lord's calling and help and support all people that are in need. I believe that is now my role in life.

Experience

Some times people go the wrong way in life because they have been let down by those that are close to them. It is all about trust, compassion and support. I carry out a lot of outreach work, so I know how important these things are to be able to reach people. I have worked with drug addicts and the homeless, as well as young people who have lost their way in life or are in prison.

Organizations
Baptist Fellowship.

Publications
My articles and letters have appeared many times in the local paper.

Education/Credentials
I am am a Deacon and secretary of my church, and also spend lots of time now also ministering to people in old folks homes as well as other outreach work.

Awards and Honors
I have won a National award for working with and supporting sick people.

Past/Present Clients
I do not call them clients, they are people in need of the love of God and of people. I have mentored many young people, including those that are in our local prison, to hopefully live an honest and Christian life.
