Let me draw you a picture, the year is 2011 the month is December. There are people walking down the street, one person in particular. He is lost, he is looking for his home. The city is busy as busy can be, this person doesn't know how he got to where he is, he sees a church, he walks inside. There are strange people sitting in the pews, they are all wearing masks, dark masks and they are dressed in black. The man asks, "is this the church of the living God?" He is told to be quiet, he is interrupting the sermon. He asks again.."is this the church of the living God?" No one responds, someone comes out of the sanctuary, dressed in all white and approaches the man, "come with me.." he says, so the man follows him to the front row of the church. "Sit here." says the man in white, then goes onto the platform and addresses the crowd "We may resume the sermon!" all is quiet once again. For the next hour nobody speaks, there is no sermon being preached and one by one each person in the church stands up, puts their bibles on a shelf and walks out of the church. The man is left there alone, he sees the man dressed in white out of the corner of his eye walk out of a side entrance of the church, he has left something in a box on the wall. The man rushes to see what is in the box, it is a letter. "Dear church attender, Thank You for visiting our church, our doors are always open (but there is nobody here) our services are every sunday at this same time, (but nobody ever speaks) we don't have or believe in baptism or communion, you can tell by our dress that we have a strict dress code, we all wear black masks and robes, our bibles are put on the shelf after we leave, you can read them if you like, but we suggest than you don't. Thank you and God Bless. Signed the man in white."
Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that
