5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Should Christians live debt free except for their home?

2-Should Christians "pledge" money that they don't have to their church or Christian ministries trusting God will provide?

3-Should Christians ever declare bankruptcy except for things beyond their control such as unusual medical expenses or loss of a job, etc.?

4-Should Christians try to leave a financial inheritance to their children or grandchildren?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY MARK 4:1-9

1 Again Jesus began teaching by the lake. A great crowd gathered around him, so he sat down in a boat near the shore. All the people stayed on the shore close to the water.

2 Jesus taught them many things, using stores. He said,

3 "Listen! A farmer went out to plant his seed.

4 While he was planting, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and ate it up.

5 Some seed fell on rocky ground where there wasn't much dirt. That seed grew very fast, because the ground was not deep.

6 But when the sun rose, the plants dried up because they did not have deep roots.

7 Some other seed fell among thorny weeds, which grew and choked the good plants. So those plants did not produce a crop.

8 Some other seed fell on good ground and began to grow. It got taller and produced a crop. Some plants made thirty times more, some made sixty times more, and some made a hundred times more."

9 Then Jesus said, "You people who can hear me, listen!"

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
