GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN

Godliness with Contentment is Great Gain.
For we brought Nothing into the World,
And we will take Nothing our of it.

But if we have food and clothing,
We will be content with that.

People who want to get Rich
Fall into Temptation and a Trap,
And into Many Foolish and Harmful Desires
That Plunge men into Ruin and Destruction.

FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY IS A ROOT OF ALL KINDS OF EVIL.
Some people, eager for money,
Have Wandered from the Faith
And Pierced themselves with Many Griefs.

BUT YOU MAN [WOMAN] OF GOD, FLEE FROM ALL THIS,
Pursue Righteousness, Godliness, Faith, Love,
Endurance and Gentleness.

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH.
Take Hold of the Eternal LIFE to which you were Called
When you made your Good Confession
In the Presence of Many Witnesses.

IN SIGHT OF GOD WHO GIVES LIFE TO EVERYTHING,
And of Christ Jesus, Who before Pontius Pilate
Made a Good Confession,
I Charge you to Keep this Commandment
Without Spot or Blame
UNTIL THE APPEARING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,
Which God will Bring About in His Own Time--
God the Blessed and only Ruler,
THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS,

WHO ALONE IS IMMORTAL
AND WHO LIVES IN UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT,

WHOM NO ONE HAS SEEN OR CAN SEE.
To Him be Honor and Might FOREVER. Amen.

Command those who are Rich in this Present World
Not to be Arrogant nor to put their Hope in Wealth,
WHICH IS SO UNCERTAIN,
But to put their Hope in God,
WHO RICHLY PROVIDES US WITH EVERYTHING
For our Enjoyment.

COMMAND THEM TO DO GOOD,
To be Rich in Good Deeds, and Willing to Share.

In this way they will Lay Up Treasure for themselves
As a Firm Foundation for the Coming Age,
So that they may take Hold of the LIFE
That is Truly LIFE.

Timothy, Guard what has been Entrusted to your care.
Turn away from godless chatter and Opposing Ideas
OF WHAT IS FALSELY CALLED KNOWLEDGE,
Which some have Professed
And in so doing have Wandered From The Faith.
Grace be with you.
(1 Timothy 6:6-21)
What matters in this life God has given us?
Only Godliness with Contentment.
Without this, life has No Meaning.

What is Fighting the Good Fight of Faith?
It is Maintaining a Good Confession before man and God.

Who is the Source of all life,
The Creator of All that Exists?
God Alone.
As God Alone is Immortal
And as a Spirit, that Immortality is in His Spirit
Whom He gives to those who love Him
And Keep His Commandments.

We brought Nothing into this World
And we will take Nothing out of it.
The Rich cannot take their Wealth to the Grave.
What does it Profit a man to Gain the Whole World
But Lose his Soul? (Mark 8:36)

If we had all the Knowledge there is to Know on Earth
It would be less than a Faction of the Knowledge of God,
Which is INFINITE.

IN THE END, where will man's Knowledge get him?
Apart from the Knowledge of God—Eternal Death!

This World was given to Satan [Luke 4:6] at the Fall of man,
But that was all part of God's Plan from before Creation.
This World has been given to us to Overcome,
By Faith in Christ Jesus--By His Spirit living In and Through us.
GOD ALMIGHTY REMAINS THE ONLY RULER.

Christ Jesus warned us:
Be always on the Watch,
And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man.
(Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is Raging Against God, Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This World in it's Present Form is Passing Away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America is being Ground to Powder because of her SIN against God.
Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on Earth as in Heaven!
