The Rich! $

In December 2010, I went home for the holidays to visit my family. I had a wonderful time seeing my Mom, Dad, Aunts, cousins etc... I spent alot of time with my dad; because he enjoys it so much; and I do too. He is very positive and spiritual and I enjoy the conversations we have. We are like best friends, we can talk about anything. Me and his new wife were having a conversation after I got off the phone with my boyfriend and he asked me did i want to be rich?" And I of course said, " Yes, I'm working towards it now. He said, do you know that is it a sin to want to be rich. I was like, " Huh? What? Really? and he then sited a Bible verse about how the Rich man can not get into Heaven. I was  like...oh, ok, then I don't want to be rich! lol, but in my mind and the way I was raised of course I was thinking, I still want to be rich one day! lol.. I always had this idea in my mind that I was going to be rich. Now I have to change my mind about it. Because I want to go to Heaven; and I am not selling my soul to the Devil for money! So I did some research and found the Bible verse's too. I always have to do research on the topics that people talk about. But it makes alot of sense when it comes to getting in the Kingdom of Heaven; no one said, that life was going to be that easy. What do you think about this topic? please comment.. ;-)

Mark 10:25

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

 

1 Timothy 6:17-1

As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
