WEALTH 1-22-17 VIDEO DEEP THOUGHTS ON TRUE WEALTH
Big difference between rich and being wealthy. Being rich means having lots of money but always worrying about having more. Wealth is measured in time not dollars. State of being- Knowing you have all you need when you need it. Provision is always there.

20 Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it’s safe from moth and rust and burglars.

27 However, in order not to give offense and cause them to stumble [that is, to cause them to judge unfavorably and unjustly] go down to the sea and throw in a hook.
