I was listening to Adrian Rogers this morning. He is to my pinion, one of the best preachers on TV. He was preaching on, one of the things that I too, try to get across to people.
The Bible verse he read were,
Matthew 6:19
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Matthew 6:20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:22
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Matthew 6:23
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew 6:19
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Matthew 6:20

Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:22

Matthew 6:23
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Matthew 6:24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Preacher Rogers, also choose these verses to accompany this scripture.
Proverbs15:6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
Proverbs 23:4-5
Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. 5-Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

Proverbs 11:4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.
1 Tim 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
The point is you either care more about your earthly posessions or God. Preacher Rogers made these comments that impressed me.
1. Your riches will make a fool out of you, if you let them. We see that every day. rich people get bored because they don't have to work for anything. And end up into drugs, drinking or whatever.
And the second statement he said was a powerful one.
No matter how rich you are, you can never bribe the judge of Heaven.
Rich people can bribe earthy judges, and in fact have them in their, ''so called'' pocket. But God can't be bribed, bought, or blackmailed into anything.
Until next time God bless, and please remember this, God demands that "He" be your Master, and as Matthew 6:24 teaches us, you can't serve two masters.
