RICHES

Man's fear and concern for the future is his deceitful excuse for not doing enough good works. But, in truth, avarice, greed and love of money is his true excuse.

You save your money but it does not save you. You amass wealth to be free but it becomes your burden. What did Christ say to the man enlarging his warehouse, "You fool, on this very night your soul will be demanded from you." He who grows rich with the goods of this world usually grows poorer in the eyes of God.

Make Christ a shareholder of your earthly possessions that He may make you a shareholder of His Kingdom.
