Hi everyone. Welcome back to Logical Bible Study and the podcast where we really dive into the

scriptures, the gospel reading of the day. Remember, you can always send in your Bible questions to

logical Bible study at gmail.com. Or if you hear something in the podcast that you disagree with,

if you don't think the way I've interpreted a particular scripture is correct, then let's have

a discussion about it. I'd always love to do that with you. And that's how we learn more about the

Bible, to really look at different

views and to analyze whether they best fit the literal sense of the text. So if you're new to the

podcast, that's what we're on about here. We're looking at an exegesis of the literal sense of the

gospel texts. Today we're looking at Luke chapter 12 verses 13 to 21. A man in the crowd said to Jesus,

Master, tell my brother to give me a share of our inheritance. My friend, he replied, who appointed me

your judge or the arbitrator of your claims?

Then he said to them,

Watch and be on your guard against avarice of any kind,

for a man's life is not made secure by what he owns,

even when he has more than he needs.

Then he told them a parable.

There was once a rich man who, having a good harvest from his land, thought to himself,

What am I to do?

I have not enough room to store my crops.

Then he said, This is what I will do.

I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them,

and I will say to my soul, my soul, you have plenty of good things laid by for many years to come.
