Seek To Be Rich In Faith

The poor desire a better life, but the greedy desire everything. Mankind yearns for riches, power, and fame, but this is not what God desires for us. Riches are the consolation of the wicked, not the righteous. The true measure of a person is not how much they have gained, but by how much they give away. Those who have everything, must give up everything. The only thing we can take with us from this life, is what God gave us. He gave us one soul, one gospel, and one chance to get right with God. If we truly want to be rich, be rich in Faith & Obedience to God.

We Must Come Clean

A sinner is worse when they pretend to be a saint, and a saint is best when they admit they are still a sinner. None is so imperfect as one who pretends that they are without sin. We all sin, and fall short of the glory of God. Jesus’ greatest warnings come to those who professed godliness, but did the works of unrighteousness. God can’t wipe away our sins, unless we first admit we have them. God provided us repentance to turn from our sins, baptism to wash them away, and eternal life to those who continue in the faith. God can’t cleanse us, until we first comes clean.
