You Know I Love You

Materialistic Meaning

Materialistic Meaning

In today’s world secularists attempt to apply materialistic meaning to our lives. It would be convenient to imply a materialistic meaning to what Jesus is saying in the book of John, but that would be a grave mistake. In the Western world there are many folks who have an abundance of material possession. Yet, they…
