THE MASTER OF REWARDS The Longman’s dictionary of Contemporary English defines reward as a countable or uncountable noun of something that you get because you have done something good or helpful or have worked hard.

PLEASE, BE CONTENT!  Greed only gets people into trouble. And we can avoid this just by being content. Greed will destroy a person, any person; regardless of who they are. If Greed can find its way into a person’s life they are well on their way to destruction. According to the Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries, one of the definitions of the

JESUS DIED FOR EVERYONE!  I once heard the story about a young man who was unable to walk. He used to move about on a board using his hands to help him navigate. This man, it was said, loved going to church. He was a believer. One day after service as he was crawling out of the church, a woman
