The spiritual must always trump the material because the spiritual moves ahead.

The material is left behind.

Dr. Tony Evans talks about how easily our perspective on possessions can become warped until time forces us to face our mortality.

You can become how many cars you have, how many houses you own, how many suits, the dresses in the closet.

None that's going to matter.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

Life can present us with some pretty difficult realities, especially if we had some disadvantages

to begin with.

Today, Dr. Evans talks about the biblical principles that can help turn our situation around

and empower us to offer hope to others.

Let's join him in the book of Ecclesiastes.

He says in chapter four, I looked again at all the acts of oppression which are being done

under the sun.

And we got plenty of it today.

He says, I've even seen the oppressors and nobody to comfort them. So what they do is they go out

and do other things to try to find artificial comfort. So I congratulated the dead which are already

dead more than the living who are still living.

Why? Because it's better off than both of them is the one who never existed,

who has never seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.

Or to put it in everyday language, it's better not to have been born.

Then I have to deal with all this because of the way life has worked.

It hasn't worked for you.
