Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it!

Believer or non believer is always entitled to his/her opinion about his beliefs in life or about God but we should make sure that it’s always according to what is written on the Bible. There are many examples written by the apostles and done by the first disciples of Jesus Christ who first believe Him and His teachings during the time He was still in the flesh. He is from above (John 8:23) who came to earth (Phil. 2:6-8) and gave examples how we should live as Christians so we may inherit eternal life. God said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded out of His mouth” (Matt. 4:4). So, what this mean? That we should search the scriptures to know His commandments (John 5:39), and learn from the parables and story of first believers. I believe that there are many things we could learn from reading it and should be applied in our daily lives. We shouldn’t depend with our own knowledge and understanding. Why? Because, there is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death (Prov. 16:25). It is not good enough that we say we believe in God, when infact we don’t follow His commandments. If we do this, we become liars. Remember, what God said on Matt. 7:21, “Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven…”, but blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it (Luke 11:28).

Is it true that money is the source of all evil. If their is money their is well for population and power.

I keep of thinking for that matter how money can transmute a person into a self centered, power gainers,mind corruptors and innocent users.

This day I visited Our Lady of Manaoag. I just consumed my time to take a spiritual rest. At the last part of the mass my attention was caught by four old ladies with sticks and has red clothes attach on its end where people inside the church drop money for "donation".

Is thiers an essence or reason why money has part after mass. Or its a church way to give our priest their income for the church.Why money?

Do we need to offer material things like food, wine, and MONEY to show how we LOVE and PRAISE GOD.

1Ti 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through,with many sorrows.
Sorry to say ConZ, but the root of Evil is the love of money according to the Bible.
