Possessions

"Unbelievers may have a civil right to many things of earth. But they do not have a spiritual, sanctified right to a place in the house of God or to any of the privileges of that house. Unbelievers do not use anything they have for the glory of God and have kept them from the children of God for whose sakes they (that is, unbelievers) are kept from destruction.  What judgement awaits them! God will say, 'I have allowed you to enjoy many things in this world. What have you laid out for the spread of the gospel? What have you given to the poor, especially the poor saints? Have you been willing to lay down all for my sake?"

-John Owen, Communion With God, Pg. 166
