If I owne..."..more precious than gold.."<br /><br />If I owned Fort Knox, all this gold and wealth would not compare to my faith in Christ while the world and devil fight against me to hinder me. God's value system is big time different then ours. <br /><br />And, actually, our trials here in the American Church are quite mild compasred to what our brothers and sisters went through back then with Nero. And our brothers and sisters in Indonesia, and other nations where being persecuted and hated for being a Christian is constant and overwhelming.<br /><br />Thanks for the post.

Like I've been considering recently, from Matthew 17:24-27 (paying the temple tax from a coin inside a fish's mouth) -- our Lord was over the temple system and did not have to pay the tax. But even He said, so as "not to give offense to them" and paid the tax. The more important thing is dealing with our own sin nature and desires rather than trying to change the world around us.Lynda Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01755739519555633760noreply@blogger.com
