We must work very hard to form our
thinking rightly in regards to the physical world and our possessions. Physical
things are not just things to possess and use for pleasure. We must see all
things as tools by which we can advance the kingdom of God and our own sanctification.
If our use of anything does not accomplish this, then we must let it go. For it
has then only become a great weight upon us that is hindering our growth in
Christ. Thus Christ's warning about gaining the whole world but losing our
souls. One other point to consider in this regard is judging others. We will
fine it very easy to criticize others by thinking that they are guilty of
mis-using things. But really, only they can truly answer that question.
