A $2.7 Million “Loss”
How would you feel if God asked you to throw away $2.7 million? When we face difficult financial decisions, our true treasure is brought to light. If money is our treasure, we will cling to it; but if Christ is our ultimate treasure, money is an afterthought.

No Time for Lunch
Are you so busy that you don’t stop for or simply forget to eat lunch?
