Bilingual riches


Those who find themselves loving money and the things of this world more than God are speaking a language that is utterly foreign to eternity.  Never, before this place of testing, was such a language spoken.  And when the lord has destroyed this place that language will utterly cease.

The language of heaven speaks of the power of the Father.  It gives glory to the Lord Jesus.  And it speaks of every desire to love.  It is completely void of selfish behavior and pride of ownership.  And, unlike money, the language of God is endless in its resource.

The Lord Jesus told us that we cannot love God and money.  We will, by the chasm of differences, love one and hate the other.  It is obviously permissible to use money among men.  But the love of it is forbidden by the very nature of eternity’s environment.

There are those who think they can love both.  But they are like the immigrant who’s language is so full of dialect and accent that he cannot be understood.  No one in the kingdom of heaven will speak with unclear tongue.  I marvel that this is acceptable here.
