       The goal is not for us to lay up treasure, as James talked about. That’s not what we are here on this earth for. Why, the earth itself, we should know by now, is in the process of becoming, just as we are. What we see around us is not going to be so in the near future. God’s going to create a new earth, and of course, a new outer-space. All in this current Universe is torn down and rebuilt anew. Again, it’s not that collecting possessions is wrong. I’d be a hypocrite if I said otherwise. I personally collect things. You collect things. Lots of people collect things. The point from James, the point from God, is how do we view those things. Is our life tied into them? Are they are life? What would happen if we sold them? Are we highly stressed out in that case? If so, then perhaps we are putting too much emphasis on this current world. But if, upon internal evaluation to the best of our ability, we pass the test, then we are free to collect.
