Can't buy me love

You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
– Revelation 3:17-18

Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied
Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy
I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love
Yeah, that was a Beatles song reference, sorry / not sorry.
Are you a lukewarm Christian?
In the Bible, the apostle John calls the church lukewarm because they trusted in their wealth.
They thought that money brings security, but it does not.
We are advised to purchase things that money can’t buy; the fire of refinement, the white clothing of righteousness, and vision that only God can provide.
We are not to confuse what the world calls wealth with what God calls wealth.
What major purchase are you making?


Have a blessed day!
