Not All that sparkle & shine is Diamond

Its so amazing how wealthy some people are, and when I say wealthy, I speak of in all aspect ranging from sound health to a lovely home, a convenient and nice company or job etc. What marvels me is, some of these wealth isn't from Christ. Truly "The camel shall find it easier to pass through the needle hole, than for a rich man to make heaven". This speaks of the rich who know not and do care to know who Christ is or Dont even care about anyone, all they just focus us is "I and my family". The Devil can so much blind one with the riches of this world(remember all is within his reach), just so as to prevent one from turning to God.
"The devil is cunning but God is wise"

At the last minute, Governor Mary Fallin, not exactly an opponent of the death penalty, issued a stay of Richard’s execution. Today, Richard’s situation is nowhere near being resolved. As the st...
