MATTHEW 6:19-21

“[Lay Up Treasures in Heaven] “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”


INVEST WISELY........ CHOOSE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR!!! GOD BLESS.

PHILIPPIANS 2:14-16

“Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.”

1 CORINTHIANS 10:13

TRUST IN THE LORD FOR HE WILL DELIVER YOU FROM ALL THINGS OF THIS WORLD. GOD BLESS.
