Where Your Treasure Is There Will Your Heart Be Also
Don't Mix Your God & Your Money...
Lest Your Money Become Your God.
.
As the old Bob Dillon song says... "You've Gotta Serve Somebody." And Jesus more specifically said... "You cannot serve God & Mammon (money, wealth, and material possessions)" Matthew 6:24. So choose. As for me and my house... we will choose the Lord. How About You?
.
One of the greatest problems I have seen in Christianity is how people play footsie with the World. They treasure wealth and earthly possessions more than God. They make THINGS... their priority... and putting those THINGS 1st... makes them spiritually weak.
.
The thing is... God is not against wealth, and it helps to have the means to serve God. The question is... What Do You Put 1st? Many a man of God has been ruined by getting his priorities out of wack. Starting out initially ... on fire and with great conviction... he sadly fades into obscurity, losing the conviction and anointing to do what God told him to do in the 1st place. How About You?
.
The disciples left all... their nets... their businesses... everything... and went and followed Jesus. The result was... these stupid unlearned nobodies went out and changed the world. 2000 years later they are still talked of... and these humble men will rule and reign with Jesus forever. What will our story be... Guess we'll see.
