“The NT Born Again & ‘WEALTH’ – 101” …Blog.
***
(1Timothy 6:7-to-10) For we did Not
bring anything into the world, and surely we Cannot take anything out of it.
(1Tim 6:8) So
as long as we have food and clothes, we will be Satisfied with these.
(1Tim 6:9) But
people who Want to get Rich keep toppling into Temptation and are Trapped by
many Stupid and Harmful desires that plunge them into Destruction and Ruin.
(1Tim 6:10) For the Love of Money is a root of All
kinds of evil. Some people, in their Eagerness to get Rich, have Wandered Away
from the faith and Pierced themselves with much pain.
***
(James 2:5-6-7) Listen, my
dear brothers! God has chosen the Poor in the world to become Rich in Faith and to be heirs of the
kingdom that He promised to those who love Him, has He not?
(Jas 2:6)
But you have Humiliated the man who is Poor. Are not Rich people the ones who
Oppress you and Drag you into court? [1Corinthains
6:1-to-8]
(Jas 2:7)
Are not they the ones Who blaspheme the Excellent Name by which you have been
called?
*** (Luke 21:1-to-4) Now Jesus looked up and saw rich people
dropping their gifts into the offering box.
(Luke 21:2) Then He saw a destitute widow drop in
two small copper coins.
(Luke 21:3) He said, "Truly I tell you, this destitute
widow has dropped in More than all of them.
(Luke 21:4) For
all the others contributed to the offering out of their Surplus, but she, in
her Poverty, dropped in Everything she had to live on."
*** (Proverbs 3:9) Honor the LORD Jehovah with your
substance, and with the first fruits of All your increase;
Did You ‘read & understand’ the above Bible
verses…? What about the picture with this Blog of a Pleasure Boat: what did it
communicate to You? “God’s Grace gives You: Wealth to buy Adult Toys?” Just how
do You define: ‘Wealth?’ Many equate wealth to “Finances!” To the unsaved, many
of those FALSE PSEUDO CHRISTIAN: Preachers, Teachers, Evangelists and the LIKE:
give ‘Wealth a Perversion!’ Four or five Homes, private Jet Planes, $2,500
Suits and “Opulence” beyond measure! These ‘Simply Blaspheme’ the Blessed Name
of Christ Jesus, portraying “Wealth as God’s blessings”. Americans especially
are ‘Jaded’ in their concept of wealth! The visual media has FOOLED many into “Wrong
Thinking” about WHAT: Wealth really is. Those “Pharisees, Scribes, Lawyers
& Sadducees” of Jesus day, were also Entrapped. Since man is to live by the
Holy Word of God: have You, done a study of ‘Wealth’ with the Scriptures…? If
not, then You have simply fallen into, the trap of deception by Satan. Many
WRONGLY equate Wealth, to Salvation in Christ Jesus as “His blessing!” Even
though they may NOT be Born Again! Even
though they are “Not Obedient” to His Holy Word: but still call themselves “Christian
[?]”. Surely the Unsaved: would come to Jesus to be… “Wealthy Like Many?”
*** (James 4:3) You ask for
something but do “NOT” get it because you ask for it for the wrong reason-for
your own pleasure.

*** (1Jn
5:19) We know that we are from God and that the ‘Whole World’ lies under the
Control of the evil one. [Satan]
*** (Mark 4:14-15) The sower
sows the Word.
(Mark 4:15) And
these are those by the wayside, where the Word is sown. And when they hear, Satan comes immediately and ‘Takes Away’
the Word that was sown in their hearts.
*** (Luke 4:4-to-9) And Jesus answered
him, saying, It is written that "man shall Not live by bread alone, but by Every Word of God."
(Luke 4:5) And
the Devil, leading Him up into a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of
the world in a moment of time.
(Luke 4:6) And
the Devil said to Him, All this power I
will give you, and the glory of them; FOR it has been delivered to me. And I Give
it to whomever I will.
(Luke 4:7) Therefore
if you will worship me, all shall be yours.
(Luke 4:8) And Jesus answered and said to him, Get
behind me, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall
you serve."
***
(Ecclesiastes 1:2) Vanity
of vanities, says the preacher; Vanity of vanities! “All is Vanity”.

Much is ‘Enough?’ – 101” …Blog.
*** (Luke 3:8) Therefore bring forth fruits worthy of
repentance; and do not begin to say within yourselves; We have Abraham for our father. For I [Jesus] say to you;
that God is able to raise up children to Abraham: from these stones
There are two kinds of Wealth for this
discussion. “Permanent Eternal Wealth” & “Passing Temporal Wealth”. Which one
will You take with You, to “Eternity?” What about ‘Good Health’, is that
Wealth? Or an ‘Understanding’ of the Holy Word of God: and its teachings? What
is that worth in “Passing Temporal Wealth?” When You meet with Christ Jesus in
His Holy Word: “Daily”, is that wealth? Especially when He, opens the
Scriptures to your “Heart & Mind & Understanding!” Or is it ‘Finances
& Investments?’ Remember what happened to all of those Securities: 12 years
ago during “9-11”? What would they be worth IF: we had another “Homeland
Terrorist Attack”…? What would be “Wealth to a Cancer Patient?” Health &
Recovery…? Where your Heart is “Right or Wrong” with GOD: is where your “Wealth
Resides!”
*** (Matthew 6:19-to-24) "Stop storing up
treasures for yourselves on earth, where moths and rust destroy and where
thieves break in and steal.
(Matt 6:20) But
keep on storing up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust do
not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal.
(Matt 6:21) For where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also."
(Matt 6:22) "The
eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be
full of light.
(Matt 6:23) But
if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. Therefore, if
the light in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"
(Matt 6:24) "No
one can serve two masters. For either he will hate one and love the other, or
be loyal to one and despise the other. You
cannot serve God and riches!"
I have asked
two things from You [Lord]; do not deny them before I die;
(Pro 30:8)
remove far from me vanity and a lying word; give me neither poverty or riches;
tear for me my portion of bread,
(Pro 30:9)
lest I be full and deceive, and say, Who is
the LORD Jehovah? Or lest I be poor, and steal, and violate the name of my God.

Riches – 101”…Blog.
*** (Matthew 16:26) For what is a man profited, if he shall
gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in
exchange for his soul?
*** (Micah 6:8) He [God] has shown you; O man, what is good. And what does the Lord
require of you; but to do Justice; and to love Mercy; and to Walk Humbly; with
your God?
*** (James 1:5-to-8) Now if any
of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone generously
without a rebuke, and it will be given to him.
(Jas 1:6)
But he must ask in faith, Without ANY Doubts, for the one who has doubts is
like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
(Jas 1:7) Such
a person should NOT expect to receive anything from the Lord.
(Jas 1:8) He is a Double-Minded man, Unstable in ALL
he undertakes.
*** (Luke 9:23-to-26) And
He [Jesus] said to all, If anyone desires to come after Me, let him DENY
himself and take up his CROSS Daily and Follow Me.
(Luke 9:24)
For whoever will save his life shall lose it, but whoever will lose his life
for My sake, he shall save it.
(Luke 9:25)
For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world and loses himself, or is
cast away?
(Luke 9:26) For whoever shall be ashamed of Me and
of My Words, the Son of Man shall be ashamed of him when He shall come in His
own and in His Father's glory,
and that of the holy angels. [John
12:48]

(Matthew 13:19) When Anyone
hears the Word of the kingdom and
does Not understand it, then the wicked one comes and catches away
that which was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown by the wayside.
Why did Christ Jesus speak so very much about
Wealth? Do You realize that it has become the ‘Touchstone’ of society? The
corrupt heart of mankind: is the issue when dealing with ‘Wealth.’ Only when
One is Born Again by the Holy Spirit of God: and becomes a Disciple of Christ:
will they be “Set Free” from the entrapment of “Temporal Wealth! Did You read … “Matthew 13:19”… posted above? Your
PRIORITY… ‘Of & To’ the “KINGDOM of GOD”… is the “Key to Wealth!” Your
priorities are Simple. You care for “His Kingdom” or your ‘Own Kingdom’. You
will place your Wealth: where your “Priorities Reside!” Wealth is not only
Finances; but also your “Time & Agendas!” Did You notice how many “Christian
[?] Men” care about Sports? Even though “Performance Drugs” used by some of
those athletes. Are those games and the ‘Cheating’ that comes from drugs: “Fair
or NOT?” Would our time be better spent… “Seeking FIRST: the Kingdom of Heaven”…?
*** (Isaiah 6:8) And I [Isaiah] heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall
I send, and who will go for “US?” [Genesis 1:26] Then I said: –> Here am I: –> send me!
*** (Romans
12:1-to-4) I therefore urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercies, to offer
your bodies as living sacrifices
that are holy and pleasing to God, for this is the reasonable way for you to
worship.
(Rom 12:2) “Do Not” be conformed to this world; but continually be transformed by the renewing of your minds so
that you may be able to determine what God's will is -> what is proper,
pleasing, and perfect. [2Corinthains 10:3-to-6]
(Rom 12:3) For by the grace given to me I ask every one of you ‘Not’
to think of yourself more highly than you should think; rather to think of
yourself with sober judgment on the
measure of faith that God has assigned each of you.
(Rom 12:4) For we have many parts in one body; but these parts do ‘Not’ all have the same function
[office].

*** (1Samuel 2:30) And
the LORD Jehovah, the God of Israel says, I said indeed, Your house and the
house of your father should walk before Me forever. But now Jehovah the LORD says, Be it far from
Me! For those who honor Me [God] I will
honor, and those that think little of Me shall be lightly regarded.
