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!
