TreaSure on earth!

The rich men on earth are angry with me because I nagging them about the richness they had.

They sung a song, "let the poor say I am rich...let the weak say I am strong...."

And then I remembered a few verses from the Bible, Matthew 6:18-20 (New International Version)

18 so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Treasures in Heaven

19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.

God want us to put our treasure in heaven, but some say we better put our treasure in the share markets, so that God will blessed me with more money! Some say we better put our treasures on the roads, driving a big car, life is short, living in a big mansion, because life is hard, eating good food, because that is say to enjoy life. This is the rich men's life on earth, and then they looked down to the poor men carrying the cross on the streets.

The theologian says my treasure is the KJV Bible, the ONLY BIBLE in the whole world. No other Bible on earth that can be called a Bible. They too looked down on us who read the NIV! We are poor they say in spiritual term.

Furthermore the rich Christians looked down even to those poor servant of God, that is why the elders always say this to their pastors or full time workers, "You give us the spiritual food on the pulpits, that is enough, that is your work, we take care of your physical food, that is it, you better don't interfere our management, we wanted the secular way, so that is it. We wanted to run the ministry with the secular way. Who give you the authority in controlling us? No! Stop talking Bible in our life."

They wanted to tame the pastor, to follow their secular way! And pastor has no authority over the elders! Why? Who paid the pastor? Who give you food? That is why they are happily, singing let the weak say I am strong, let the poor I am rich, you know!

Who give you the authority? Bible is our authority? Which Bible? The KJV? Only the KJV?

Secular? What type?

Some follow Paul, some follow Apollos, ....that ye all speak the same thing,....no divisions among you...(1 Cor 1:10)

there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, ARE YE NOT CARNAL? AND WALK AS MEN? ....I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? (1 Cor 3:3-4)
