The world today is all about money. What many people do not understands, having money and neglecting Jesus, is like having nothing. The bible asked this question. what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lost his soul. That is a very good question. You know I've never seen anyone takes their wealth with them to the grave. It is left behind for someone else. Please, do not settle for money alone, settle for Jesus. He has the power of heaven and earth.
