LIFE


"How short you have made my life!
In your sight my lifetime seems nothing.
Indeed every living being is no more
than a puff of wind,

no more than a shadow.


All we do is for nothing;
we gather wealth, but don't
know who will get it."
(Psalms 39:5,6 GNT)


One time a man had too many crops to store and decided to 
build bigger barns to hold them.

"But God said to him, 'You fool!  This very night you will
have to give up your life; then who will get all these things
you have kept for yourself?'"
"And Jesus concluded, 'This is how it is with those who
pile up riches for themselves but are not rich in God's sight."
(Luke 12:20,21 GNV)

WHERE ARE YOU RICH AT?
Here or earth, or with God?

MAKE YOUR OWN GOD

Have you thought about making your own god?
A lot of people in this old world do.  It does not
matter if it is an ignorant savage down in the 
South American jungle whittling one out of a
tree, or a sophisticated person from a cultured
country making one out of gold.  Or even an 
highly educated intellectual deciding in there 
mind what kind of a god they could believe in -
they all have one thing in common.

THEY DO NOT WORK.

They are like the the sculpture below.
It is only material, it lacks power.
No engine, no power.


"

"God is Spirit, and those who worship
Him must worship in spirit and truth."
(John 4:24 NKJV)

But there is a God who has been hearing and answering
my prayers for over sixty years now.  Has your god got
that kind of record?

He is found in the Holy Bible.
He created this old world and gives us life.
He loves us enough that He even died for us
then rose again.

His name is:

JESUS CHRIST.

HOARDED RICHES




"There is buried in gold and silver plate
and useless ornaments, within Christian
homes, enough to build a fleet of 50,000
vessels, ballast them with Bibles, and
crowd them with missionaries; build a
church in every destitute hamlet, and 
supply every living soul with the Gospel
within a score of years."
-A. T. Pierson
