Beware of Blessings - The Rich Fool and the Quiet Danger of Prosperity

Beware of Blessings

The Rich Fool and the Quiet Danger of Prosperity

In Luke 12, Jesus tells a story that feels uncomfortably relevant in a culture obsessed with growth, security, and accumulation. The Parable of the Rich Fool is not a warning against provision — it is a warning against forgetting God in the midst of it.

Beware of Blessings is a short, Scripture-forward Christian essay written for those who build, lead, provide, and plan — and want to do so with eternal perspective.
