ACQUIRE YOUR WEALTH
I was talking to a young mother recently and picked up on a phrase as she talked. She shared with me how that before marriage she and her husband were counseled by their church pastor to wait to have children and "ACQUIRE YOUR WEALTH before you think of having children."
I was astounded that in the name of God, a pastor would encourage a couple to accumulate material possessions and "transitory wealth" and to deny them the real truth of the wealth of children! Surely, children born in the image of God and who are eternal souls who will live forever are greater wealth than cars, houses, and "stuff" that will all be left behind.
Which wealth are you accruing? Wealth that last forever, or "wealth" that will be left behind?
