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]

Luke 12:29


Title:  Do not set your heart
             
Stop making the pursuit of basic things such as food and clothing the main purpose of your life; in modern thinking we could add to the list education, housing, a low fast car, pension plan, health insurance, etc.

Life is firstly spiritual.  Its tenure on earth is fixed and no amount of worrying and medical intervention can add a minute to it.  Therefore our primary concern must be what the heart really longs for, which is joy forevermore, and this has been promised in the kingdom, all the spiritual benefits of the grace of sharing with the poor what we ourselves could use.

Life is lastly spiritual.  It was destined for joy that exceeds human understanding for those who would trust the Father God for their spiritual and physical well-being.
