Our Scripture reading today is Matthew 6:19-20.
Verse 20, "But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:"
The treasures we send to Heaven will bring an eternal increase for the glory of God. It is imperative that we direct as much of our increase as possible to an eternal gain. One way we can do that is by giving a portion of our finances to missions. We have such a privilege to give in order that the Gospel might be spread in regions of the world we will never visit this side of Heaven. The Apostle Paul wrote about fruit being applied to our account in lieu of giving to reach people with the Gospel. Philippians 4:17, "Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account." It is my conviction that everyone can and should have a part in reaching the lost in all part of the world.
