From My Heart: Let's suppose that Congress passed a law that at some unannounced point in the coming year the Japanese yen would become the official American currency. From then on your dollars would be worthless and the yen would rule. What would you do knowing that the big day was on the horizon? You would simplify your life, get along on as few dollars as possible, and convert as much of your money as possible into yen. You'd be ready for the big change. Can you see where this is going? Jesus is coming and after that the only thing that will count is the currency of Heaven. So it makes a lot of sense for us to invest just as much of our treasure as possible in the things that will outlast us. Through our giving and sharing we can be friends helping friends become fully devoted followers of Christ. --
