8-26-2012- MAN ASKS WIFE-PUT MONEY IN HIS CASKET
JAMES 5: 1-3 =
(1) GO TO NOW, YOU RICH MEN, WEEP AND HOWL, FOR YOUR MISERIES SHALL COME UPON YOU.
(2) YOUR RICHES ARE CORRUPT AND YOUR CLOTHES ARE MOTH EATEN.
(3) YOUR GOLD AND YOUR SILVER IS CANKERED: AND THE RUST OF THEM SHALL BE A WITNESS AGAINST YOU AND SHALL EAT YOUR FLESH AS IT WERE FIRE. YOU HAVE HEAPED TREASURES TOGETHER FOR THE LAST DAYS.
"REMARKS"
THIS IS JUST A STORY ABOUT A RICH MAN WHO WAS A MISER AND WANTED TO KEEP ALL HIS MONEY WITH HIM, WHETHER DEAD OR ALIVE. ANYWAY THIS IS HOW THE STORY GOES.
A RICH MAN, WHO WAS A MISER AND SELFISH AND HOARDED ALL HIS MONEY, WAS FACED WITH DEATH AND CONFIDED IN HIS WIFE THAT HE WANTED ALL HIS MONEY TO BE BURIED WITH HIM AT HIS PASSING. THE WIFE AGREED TO DO SO.
THE MAN PASSED AWAY AND AFTER THE SERVICE, BEFORE THE CASKET WAS CLOSED, THE WIFE PUT A BOX INSIDE THE CASKET, AS SHE PROMISED HER HUSBAND, SHE WOULD DO.
A FRIEND WITH HER SAID, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PUT ALL HIS MONEY IN HIS CASKET, ARE YOU? SHE REPLIED, THAT'S THE PROMISE I MADE HIM.
THEN SHE CONFESSED TO HER FRIEND, WELL IT'S NOT EXACTLY CASH, SEE, I PUT ALL HIS MONEY IN MY BANK ACCOUNT AND THEN I WROTE HIM A CHECK FOR IT AND IF HE CAN CASH IT, HE WILL HAVE HIS MONEY.
THIS IS A STORY THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION BECAUSE OF THE SELFISH NATURE OF A MANS HEART, WHO COVETS AND LOVE MONEY. THE PAYBACK WAS A PERFECT REWARD FOR HIS FOOLISHNESS.
THE SAME THING GOES ON IN THE HEART OF MAN TODAY. RICH MEN, YOUR MONEY WILL BE YOUR WORST ENEMY, IF YOU DON'T GIVE TO THE POOR, OUT OF YOUR ABUNDANCE. THEN YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN WILL BE MUCH GREATER THAN ON EARTH.
