He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.

But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by manyContinue reading “can’t take it with you”

Therefore keep the commandments of the LORD your God, by walking in his ways and by fearing him.Continue reading “forget”
