Where The Treasure Lies
In a world that constantly promises happiness through success, wealth, comfort, and image, it’s easy to chase after things that never truly satisfy. Where the Treasure Lies is a Christian blog devoted to uncovering the modern idols that subtly capture our hearts—and pointing readers back to the only lasting treasure: Jesus Christ.
The blog's title carries a double meaning. The “treasures” of this world lie—they make promises they can’t keep. At the same time, our true treasure lies with Christ, who offers peace, identity, and joy that the world can never match. As Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21).
Each post explores how modern life leads us to worship false gods—like career, status, control, or entertainment—and offers biblical insight to resist them. With a mix of cultural reflection, theological depth, and personal honesty, Where the Treasure Lies helps Christians live with spiritual clarity in a noisy, idol-filled world.
Whether you’re wrestling with where your heart is pulled or just seeking a deeper walk with God, this space is for you. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s redirection: away from lies, and toward the truth of Christ.
Lie #3 You Complete Me
Does your spouse ‘complete’ you? Culture tells us that marriage is the key to fulfillment, but Scripture teaches something far deeper. In this blog, we’ll uncover the lie of looking to a spouse for ultimate happiness, explore how misplaced expectations can crush relationships, and see how God alone provides true joy, peace, and identity. Drawing on Scripture, illustration, and gospel hope, discover how freeing your spouse from idol-status can actually strengthen your marriage and point you back to Christ.
Lie #2 You Deserve it.
Explore how the world’s “you deserve it” mindset contrasts with the Bible’s teaching on what humanity truly deserves—and the undeserved grace we receive in Jesus Christ. This article examines cultural messages, the Genesis account of human purpose, the reality of sin, and the hope of salvation through Christ. A must-read for Christians seeking to replace entitlement with gratitude and live out their faith with purpose.
Lie #1 Things Will Get Better…
We all want a better tomorrow—but what happens when our version of “better” becomes an idol? The Israelites longed for freedom, but when God's deliverance didn't match their expectations, they grumbled, rebelled, and looked back to slavery. In this post, we explore how our imagined futures can quietly replace our faith in God’s promises, and how to refocus our hearts on the true Deliverer—Christ—who has already secured the only future that truly matters.
