It is very clear that when God speaks to His people, that He wants to communicate a truth that we need to hear. Far to often, we do not realize that the words of God hold an everlasting truth that can bring about much joy and peace in our lives. Needles to say, truth and Biblical wisdom is sadly lacking within the church in modern day American. How and why has this happened? The answer is quite simple. Christians today have not spent time reading God's Word and therefore they have not implemented this truth in their everyday living. The Old Testament says; "grow rich by heeding My instruction" and Psalms 119:11 instructs us that "Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee".

AHH yes a man after my own heart. How have we strayed so far from the reality of Who God is and who we are? We own NOTHING and HE owns everything. That is the BEGINNING of a wisdom that is totally ignored by so many. He gives us what we NEED, and expects us to learn from Him what to do with what we are entrusted with. He reveals need and guides us to meet those we can. He says if a man asks for your shirt give him your coat too. That's pretty clear isn't it? WHY do so many hold so FAST to what they think is THEIRS when it never was nor ever will be theirs... its always been and always will be GOD's. We are just the middlemen guys. STOP HOARDING and stop thinking that its enough to throw 10% at some greedy pastor so he can drive a nice car. Its not going to please God, and its so caterwalled. Do NOT be decieved, God is NOT mocked by senseless, thoughtless giving to fraudulent "men of god" He wants you to listen to HIM and HIM only.
