Investment Tip!

Yes indeed!!! I have a tip for each of you that is 100% reliable and the return on investment is literally out of this world!!! Let's face it... what does any of us have to lose?

Now here are some things you need to have in place before you can take advantage of this financial opportunity. First of all you need to believe that Jesus is who He says He is. Jesus is either one of two things. He's either the only begotten, virgin born Son of God who came to redeem the world from sin or He's the biggest liar who ever walked. There is no in between. To not believe His claim of deity yet revere Him as a good teacher is absolute foolishness. There are no gray areas with Christ! If you believe Him to be the second person of the Trinity the next thing you need to have is faith to step out on His direction.... and last of all you'll need to take action on that faith.

Now, just to set this up... it is made extremely clear that everything that we aquire on earth shall indeed pass away. If you profit $100,000,000.00 in earthly investments over your lifetime every last dollar will be burned up along with the rest of this world. So, why spend a multitude of effort trying to build a kingdom here that will result in rubbish? Christ spoke of a better way to invest and here's where we're tested on our faith. Hear the words of the Lord...

Luke 12:33 "Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.

You read it right... forget making a ton of money here, send it ahead where you'll be able to enjoy it for eternity. We all have such an earthbound mentality because this is where all our stuff is! Jesus goes on in the next verse to say... "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also". It's no wonder we give no more thought to the things of God than we do, most of us have yet to begin a Heavenly savings account! If you invest in GM, every time the news mentions their name you turn up the TV. If you give a great amount of money to bless AIDS children in Africa, every time you hear a report on AIDS research you perk up.

So, how much time do you have left down here... 35... 40 years? Does that even compare to the neverending span of time Heaven offers us all? With that considered... what's the smart investment; a possible return in a blue chip stock that yields you treasure for a few more years (or not) or a sure thing that yields an infinity of return for an infinity of time? Don't take it from me, take it from Jesus! Lay your treasure on the other side... you'll be glad you did.
