The Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

[Paul, writing to Christians @ Corinth, 1 Cor. 15:1-4]

Hebrews 13:5


Title:  The love of money

Money is neutral.

It is man who places spiritual value to money.  At this point his entire existence is poised to the acquisition of wealth.

A man who has no highest authority to whom he has yielded control of all that he possesses really owns nothing that would bring him contentment and joy and fulfillment.  He who derives only his own good out of what he owns is being his own god over what is God’s property.

God owns everything.  All things were created for his pleasure.  Our pleasure is God, to know him and to serve and worship him.
