6. I will use the Scriptures below to help deter-

mine my attitude toward God, His Word, and

His Will in my life concerning possessions.

Matt 6:19-24 "Do not store up for yourselves

treasures on earth, where moth and rust de-

stroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

20 But store up for yourselves treasures in

heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy,

and where thieves do not break in and steal.

21 For where your treasure is, there your

heart will be also. 22."The eye is the lamp of

the body. If your eyes are good, your whole

body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes

are bad, your whole body will be full of dark-

ness. If then the light within you is darkness,

how great is that darkness! 24"No one can

serve two masters. Either he will hate the

one and love the other, or will be devoted to

the one and despise the other. You cannot

serve both God and Money.

7. So in the first three verses, what examples do

I see in myself and other people when it

comes to storing up treasures?

10. Verse 24- who are the two masters in this con-

Luke 18:18-23 The Rich Young Ruler A certain

ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to

inherit eternal life?" 19 "Why do you call me

good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except

God alone. 20 You know the commandments: 'Do

not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal,

do not give false testimony, honor your father and

mother." 21 "All these I have kept since I was a

boy," he said. 22 When Jesus heard this, he said

to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell everything

you have and give to the poor, and you will have

treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." 23

When he heard this, he became very sad, be-

cause he was a man of great wealth.

11. Why did the ruler become sad?
