DECEIVED TO BELIEVE A LIE
DECEIVED TO BELIEVE A LIE
Too many good folks are deceived to believe that there is something inherently wrong with looking out for one's self and one's own, before looking out for others ' interests!
"It's a mighty poor dog that doesn't wag its own tail," Daddy used to say. That means do you faithfully!
Jesus ' parable about the man who found the hidden treasure buried in a field makes the same point. That man did not blab his findings to the world. Instead, he bought that field!
Anyone or anything that would have you surrender your worldly goods for their comfort and their convenience is a deceiver and liar!
They do not do what they ask of you! If so, it is only with their remains!! Bear these facts in mind when the next solicitation comes around! Predators use pretexts all of the time to pray upon your stuff!
"Anyone that does not provide for their own relatives, especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever ." 1 Timothy 5:8
