Matthew 6:19-24
19" Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.  20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in a steal.  21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22"The eye is the lamp of the body.  If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.  23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness.  If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

24"No one can serve two msters.  Either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.  You cannot serve both God and Money.

--Role of money is tied into our spiritual lives.
--Don't store treasuers for yourself on earth because there is another more important kingdom.
--We don't own anything--Only God does. 
--The world will be gone--all our tresures will be gone--including our selves.
--Money is the personification of human desire--Don't let it control you.
--Giving money away is empowering.
--Puring is refreshing; just let it go.
--Jesus gave up his rich and noble life for us and our empty bank accounts.
