Perspective: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasure in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart also be… For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?” ~ Jesus (Matthew 6:19-21; 16:26) Learn More
