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!
