Summary: 100 Days of Preaching the Gospel #31 | with Daniel Whyte III <br><br> TEXT -- Luke 12:15-21: "And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." <br><br> We should not lightly call someone a fool. Jesus warned against this in Matthew 5:22 when He said, "whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." But I believe it is safe for us to say that the man described in this passage was a fool, because God called him a fool. Today, I want to give you four reasons why God called this man a fool. <br><br> 1. First, this man was concerned only with things <br><br> 2. Second, this man thought things would satisfy his soul <br><br> 3. Third, this man planned for time and not eternity <br><br> 4. This man thought he had plenty of time <br><br> + Plus, listen to Hillsong singing "Worthy is the Lamb" and Deitrick Haddon singing "Sinner's Prayer"
