"As for me, I am poor and needy, yet the Lord takes thought and plans for me" (Psalm 40.17a). Verily, since the creation of the earth, money was created by the mankind, in many ways, and colours, and values, for the good and/or for the bad of all. The truth is the money is nothing but a "creation". The values stated on the paper and/or in the coin, are accepted by all, without hesitation. The same paper produces a 10 dollar-bill or even a 100 dollar-bill. Again: the paper is the same; the values are not! Our own relationship with the money "says" much about ourselves. Jesus declared that we must give to Ceasar what belongs to him and give to Jesus what belongs to Him. I know a bunch of rich people here in town. All they have is this: money; but not principles, but not moral, but not values - a real shame! Indeed, we ought to know who is the Lord in our own lives! In the Bible, believers were mostly poor people; yet extremely rich in goodness, in principles, in moral, in sharing love with one another. In fact, it is of utmost importance to be and not to have! On my own, I am still a poor and needy soul. The Lord takes thought and plans for me, always. Nobody can serve two masters: God and money!

"Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded" (James 4.8).

We have reached April 8th, 2013. Only today I had time to do this posting.

Most people think that God is always ready to protect us from anything. This is not true, at all.

After all, He is love, but also justice. His holiness does not tolerate sinfulness. The opportunities for our conversion are present everywhere - but who actually wishes a real change? For sure, better it is to keep thinking that He is always there and here, for He loves us all.

The word is extremely clear: we must come near to God, so that He might come near to us. This action requires a purification of mind and heart - and hands. Double-minded people will face difficulties in receiving blessings from Almighty. Well, so what to do, pastor? Try this:

1. Acknowldge yourself as a sinner (a big one!);
2. Cry out for the forgiveness of your sins;
3. Purify your heart and hands;
4. Make a "deal": start changing today, right now;
5. Come near to God, while there is time enough.

After this "five-step operation", you should start a new life, for you are a new creature.

April-2013 is moving onwards... Come near to God!
