Hello all and thank you for coming today. I have been injured for a while but I am able to write again, Praise God! There have been many of you coming faithfully to the site even when there were no new messages and I thank you for that. I preach the Word, rightly divided. If you don't know what that is read Paul's Epistles. I recommend it to everyone. New or old in the faith.
I'm sorrowed at the passing of Jerry Falwell, folks, the light is going out in this world and none seems to be taking their places. I pray for all of us to remember that one day in the future out there the Lord is coming back for us and there will be a 7 year tribulation for those left here.
Today I would like to discuss wealth with you. Are you having a hard time financially? This is a subject I never preach on but today for some reason it seemed the thing to write.
Giving is one of the greatest things a human can do, showing compassion for those less fortunate than you. I know many of you don't know where to start or how to begin. Let me give you a few hints; Take canned food to the homeless shelter in your area, if you see someone with a sign and he doesn't appear to be using it for drinking or drugs give him a small amount of money and I'm paraphrasing it, "the plowing of the wicked is iniquity."
Having a hard time with money? The Lord says, "that He owns the gold and the silver and cattle on a thousand hillsides. Whatever you have that you are prospering in it comes from the Lord, make no mistake about it and you could lose it all in one day."
Haggai 1:3 Then came the Word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 Is it time for you, O ye to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house is laid waste? 5 Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. 6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; Ye eat, but ye have not enough; Ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; Ye clothe you, but there is none warm; And he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. 7 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. Verse 9 Ye looked for much and lo, it came to little; And when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the Lord of hosts. Because of mine house that it is waste, And ye run every man unto his own house. 10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from the dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
I don't think I have ever heard anyone preach on this. If they have I thank them, the House of the Lord is YOU, the Lord says "I do not dwell in temples made with hands neither am I worshiped by men's hands as though I needed anything."
Today, right now, the Church is laid waste, and we had all better be getting to business of providing for the poor and needy and give to the Lord that which belongs to the Lord. Share with one another, be kind and truthful, caring, honest. Treat people as you would have them treat you.
Thank you and May God bless each of you that are saved, if you are not saved then why not today, before the light goes out.
