Things can become idols or tools to reach out to Christ. Money, people, and things can become your God at times. But even though people place their hope in people and money. The only true hope comes from the One that died on the Cross. For only he can give you eternal salvation, after you die here. For only he has made the sinless sacrifice, so that he could save you. But too many people do not want to die to self for him to lead them. But its the only way to live is to die to self and live for others.
