MATERIALISM,
REMEDY FOR

A MAN one day came to the pastor and said, “Pastor, when I was making $30,000 a year, I’d give generously to the Lord. I’m making $150,000 and I don’t have anything to give to the Lord. Would you pray for me?”

The pastor said, “Let’s pray. Lord, would You please take this brother back to $30,000 a year so he can start giving.”617
