How many precious ones have

sold their souls for wealth, prestige,

fame, popularity, greed, or power!

May those who profess Jesus Christ

as Lord who have been bought with

the precious blood of the lamb never

be found pursuing such weak and

begger-like commodities of the earth.

For the royal imperial, eternal, incomparable

Kingdom and Triune God we serve is majestically

royally, imperially immense, and worth more than

all the treasuries and riches of this sin-filled world.

May we pursue Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the Holy Word,

and prayer. These are the Christian’s true riches in this world.
