Vance Havner writes, "Another day, another dollar," is the philosophy
a lot of folks live by and because of that they "pierce themselves through
with many sorrows." They will violate the Sabbath for a buck, they will
cut corners on their taxes to save a penny, and they will rob their family of
both time and testimony for a little "scratch!" Some even dare to
"rob God," for the sake of the “all mighty” dollar instead of giving
to the Almighty! Remember, you can’t take it with you! I’ve been in ministry
over 40 years and I’ve never yet seen a U-Haul following a hearse!” S. E. Trail
My
prayer for you today is that you would lay your treasure up in the “bank” of
heaven where it pays eternal dividends.
Luke 12:15 And he
said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life
consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. KJV
“Following a great sermon on lifestyle
evangelism one family thought they had better do something to witness to Jesus.
So they invited their neighbors to dinner the following Friday night. When it
came to the meal, the hostess was keen to show their neighbors that they upheld
Christian standards in their home. So she asked little 5 year old Johnny to say
grace. Little Johnny was a bit shy. "I don't know what to say" There
was an awkward pause, followed by a reassuring smile from the boy's mother. "Well
darling," she said, “just say what Daddy said at breakfast this
morning." Obediently, the boy repeated, "Oh God, we've got those
awful people coming to dinner tonight"
