I was watching a "New Rules" segment of Bill Maher's show, and during this segment, he talked about the reaction Europeans have of American luxuries that Americans take for granted, such as:
Costco
Walmart
BBQ
Ranch Dressing
All this reminded me of how rich and prosperous America really is, when even the "poorest" among us usually have access to all this stuff.
This bothers me. Jesus says:
““But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. “Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. “Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.” (Luke 6:24-25, ESV)
Now, this doesn't mean that those who merely live in America are going to Hell just because they're on this giant piece of land. Still, compared to the rest of the world, we're actually quite rich, and that should be concerning.
Am I off on this? (Proverbs 6:23)
