ANOTHER RICH MAN "BITS THE DUST".
Like so many rich people - I have never heard of him.
But you may have read that John McAfee died apparently
of suicide on June 23rd.
My understanding is that John, a British - American
tycoon who made millions as a computer programmer
squandered millions on mansions all over the world.
Apparently in the process he got into legal trouble,
died broke in a Spanish prison awaiting extradition
to the U.S.
Like so many of them, he went from the top of the
pile to the pits of hell.
Let me tell you of another one. This particular story
that Jesus tells is another one that went from fame to
failure. [Incidentally this one is the only president I
know of in the Scriptures for retirement.]
Jesus tells us that a wealthy farmer had such large
crops that his barns would not hold all the produce.
So, he decided to tear the old barns down and build
larger ones. THEN RETIRE.
"But God said to him, 'You fool!
You will die this very night. Then
who will get everything you worked
for?
Yes, a person is a fool to store
up earthly wealth but not have a
rich relationship with God."
(Luke 12:20,21 NLT)
Chase the dollar if you want.
But most likely it will cost you everything
you ultimately get INCLUDING YOUR
VERY SOUL with an eternity in the Devil's
hell.
I choose to chase after a close relationship
with Jesus Christ the creator of all and
ultimate owner of all.
