NEITHER MONEY  NOR PLEASURE   SHOULD MAKE US ABANDON THE TRUTH

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

2 Timothy 4:9-10

Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 10For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 

THERE SHOULD NOT BE A DEMAS IN OUR MIDST! THE CHILDHOOD CHORUS SAYS IT ALL

I have decided to follow Jesus,

I have decided to follow Jesus,

No turning back, no turning back.

1 Timothy 5:5-6

Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 6But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

1 John 2:15-17

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Hebrews 10:35-39

Romans 8:38-39
