Selfishness is when we pursue gain at the expense of others. But God doesn’t have a limited number of treasures to distribute. When you store up treasures for yourself in heaven, it doesn’t reduce the treasures available to others. In fact, it is by serving God and others that we store up heavenly treasures. Everyone gains; no one loses.

Jesus Himself was criticized. He wasn't a glutton and drunkard, but He was accused of being those things. Why?

But you don't have to be sinning just because you're in in an environment of happiness.

I read secular fiction, but also enjoy novels with a Christian worldview.
