Vol. 7 What is a successful life?

What is a successful life? If you are rich, are you successful? If you are poor, is your life a failer?
The Bible says it's very difficult for the rich to go to heaven. We should not love and seek money, because there is a way more important thing we seek to be successful!

Today's Christian Clipart: No use if you gain much money and gain no life

Mark 8:36, Luke 9:25

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

What is successful life?
Being rich in this world ends in about 80 yeas no matter how rich you are. Don't forget the life after the death of your body. It's eternal!! You can not take your money with you there. Make sure you will get your eternal life in the kingdom of God, that is more important than money in this short time world.

Mark 8:36

Today's Christian Clipart: Ananias lied to God

Acts 5:1-5

Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.
Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened.

"Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?"

Simon replied, "I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven."

"You have judged correctly," Jesus said.

Today's Christian clip art: The widow's mite

Mark 12:41-44, Luke 21:1-4.
Jesus sat down and was watching people putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw a big amount, but a poor widow put only two small copper coins. Jesus said to his disciples "I tell you the truth. This poor widow has put more into treasury than anybody. They all gave out of their wealth, but she put in everything she has - all she had to live on."
