Of Hearts And Treasures!

When The Worldly-Wise Hear True-To-The-Class Christians Say That 

There Is Treasure Laid Up For Us In Heaven

They Look At Us As Though We Have Sprouted Extra Heads! 

Beloved, 

There Is Nothing Wrong With Being Rich 

Unless You Forget The Living God 

And 

Your Wealth Becomes Your God! 

There is Something Wrong With Us And Our Wealth 

If 

It Is Gotten By Fraud And Through Robbing The Poor! 

Dear Ones, 

We, As Practicing Christians, Should Tremble 

And 

Be In Fear Aka In Awe Of The Lord 

When We Read The Scripture Warning Us That 

Our Hearts Follow Our Treasures! 

We Should Remember The Story Of 

The Rich Young Ruler Who Knew The Scriptures

Obeyed The Law Of The Lord

But 

Chose His Numerous Visible Things Over His Lord Christ 

Who Offered Him Treasure Unknown And Unimaginable

In The Future Day Of God's Appointing! 

We Should Also Consider Abraham, Job, And Jacob 

Who Looked Forward To The Better Treasure 

While Being Liberal With What They Possessed! 

We May Also Learn Harsh Lessons From The Lives Of 

Prophet Balaam

Disciple Judas Iscariot

And 

Ananias And His Wife Sapphira 

Whose Hearts Were Totally Corrupted! 

They Lost Their Lives Twice 

Since They Will Not Be Participants In The Receipt Of 

The Gift Of Everlasting Life! 

Is Your Heart Right With God!?! 

Do You Recognize That Treasure Aka Wealth 

Is 

Just A Purpose-Built Tool 

Which Carves Out A Living 

But 

Cannot Give, Retain, Or Restore Life!?! 

Is Jesus Christ Really Your Everlasting Portion!?! 

Think About It! 

Peace!
