Treasure The Things Of The Lord

 How important that we hold this world's wealth and wisdom, together with position and power very lightly. What we treasure in our hearts will become that which we worship.
 We brought nothing into this world and will take nothing out of it, and yet too often we spend the majority of our time accumulating unimportant things and glorifying in the gaudy trinkets of this temporal world, at the expense of storing up a heavenly wealth of God's glorious blessings as part of our eternal heritage.
 When we treasure the things of this world, our heart is far from the Lord, but when He becomes the greatest Treasure of our lives, our heart will worship him in grateful thanksgiving and praise.
 The love of earthly treasure is a root of all kinds of evil, which can cause the believer to wander from the good news of the gospel of grace It can cause us to forfeit many of the rich blessings that God desires for each of His children to receive.
 Let us Treasure The Things Of The Lord, and unrelentingly pursue after righteousness and godliness, faith and love, perseverance and gentleness, humility of heart and joy in the Lord, when our treasure is rooted and grounded in Jesus, then our heart will be anchored to the Rock of our eternal salvation.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we pray that we may know Christ and treasure Him for Who He is, and all He has done for us. May our hearts be rooted and grounded in Christ Jesus our Lord. Help us to fight the good fight of faith and not be tempted by the transient treasures of this world. Help us to secure good reports and to lay up for ourselves much treasures in our heavenly home, to Your glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.

There are many churches that are posting or preaching scripture that is very misleading and for our younger generation, this is one of the problems that exist today. Some churches have become very confusing. Too many denominations, manmade rules and scripture interpreted in ways that are misleading. Some churches want you to believe that you are to give the church 10% of you income and using the verse we posted today to lead you to believe something that does not exist. We found this on a membership page on a church website:

 The Rewards of Tithing
The Bible says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21) When we as followers of Jesus tithe, we are expressing worship in a tangible way. We are showing that we have put God first in our lives, that He has our hearts.

What does this have to do with tithing? God does not promise you any rewards for tithing at any church. If you put God first in your life, he has your heart without tithing.
This is why we are compelled to give you scripture and God's meaning about giving over the next 3 days. There is too much confusion too many people who truly want a relationship with God but don't know where to go.
In no way are we against churches at all. They have a purpose in which we have posted many verses in the past.
The most important thing to know as a Christian is that The Church is not a building, The Church is all of God's Children!
