Thoughts on Today's Verse...


It is so easy to think of ourselves as average people who are not rich. But bottom line, if we have access to a computer to read e-mail, we're richer than most of the world.

Rich men and women love money, material possesions and love to show off what they got. The problem with this is they will not be able to take everything they have to heaven.

Love not the world nor the things of the world. If you love the world then the love of the Father is not in you. How true this is with money.
