'' FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY ''

Pick up the headlines in a major city like New York, and the title may read:
Man murders his wife to collect a half of a million dollar insurance policy!
Or: Woman sells her own daughter on the street, to get money to buy crack cocaine.



Identity theft is fast becoming the no.1 crime in the U.S.  Are people all over 
employing the strategy of "working the system" instead of employing "the system of work"?

If today someone finds a wallet on the street and it contains 1,200
dollars in cash and a drivers license, How many would even look
in the phone book to see if the person is a local?

Have people become so accustomed to quick gain, that they forget
that ill gotten gains are dishonesty. Do a lot of folks think that if 
they  get-over on a sucker, that they have done well? This country
was founded on virtue and trust.

Yet  how many americans would say that if a mail bag with $60,000
in fives and tens were to fall out of the back of a mail
truck, that they would throw a party!!

What is happening to the morals of this nation?
I speak not for the GOD fearing Christians,

but for the Christians who may think " Well I know it is wrong
to steal, but if I ask for forgiveness - GOD will forgive me.

GOD does forgive, but He also expects the person to be
repentive in their asking, for HE knows the hearts of all
of us, and if we ask forgiveness and turn

not away from wickedness, then do you expect HIM to
forgive? "Thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife, nor
his belongings"

But how many folks, when they see a rich man
in a thousand dollar suit say to themselves, Why can't
that be me? They see a mansion on a hill and think "Why do
not I deserve a house like that?" Money is not the root
 
of all evil for the bible says that "the LOVE of money is the
root of all evil". Yet today - How many so called born again
Christians...LOVE money more than they LOVE GOD?

We are supposed to love HIM FIRST, and ABOVE ALL THINGS. How
many Christians do that today? The LORD says "if you love ME,
you will keep My commandments" So does this mean that
 
if we are steady breaking commandments that we have
NOT the LOVE for GOD? You got it right, because the LORD
would have not said " if you love Me".. People say then well

what about grace and forgiveness? I tell them that they do in
fact exist.
But JESUS said in the NEW TESTAMENT...."You cannot serve GOD
and mammon."

The greek word for mammon is MONEY! Do I take this to
mean that a man of GODS cannot be rich? Of course not,
for GOD can bless a man with riches, because a man
 
of GODS will take the riches and do things for GOD with
them! Spread the gospel! For this man of GOD is not serving
money, he is serving GOD. The bible says "first seek ye the
 
kingdom of GOD, and these things will be added to you."
How many seek GOD first? I say this in no means to come
 off holier than thou to anybody. GOD IS NOT A RESPECTER

OF PERSONS! He will not do one single thing for me, that He
would not DO FOR YOU! But first you have to seek Him!
The bible says that "many are called but few are chosen."
"Not every man that calleth on My name, shall see the

kingdom of heaven, for wide is the gate, but narrow is the path."
What path are you on? Just a thought. I pray for YOU ALL,
and this nation, as I see a need for a national revival,
to bring it back to the honor system that is what once
made it great.

It is still a great nation. But it would be blessed BEYOND
MEASURE if people would just seek GOD first.....................................ManofGod
