GOP Gospel: Treasures

Day 9 of my Lent project. For background, please read this.

A reading from the Gospel according to the GOP:

Work hard in righteousness and your Father will reward you with plenty upon earth. Therefore hold these gifts close, as a reminder that you have earned his love, to keep your faith strong. Should they be diminished by decay or theft, then you have proven to be a poor steward of his gifts, and he will not give you more, and your reward in heaven will be depleted accordingly, due to your lack of faith. For your treasure is an outward sign of the love you have earned from your Father, and that is where your heart should be.

I know I'm spending a lot of time kicking the Prosperity Gospel, but there's just so much to kick ...

( Matthew 6:19-21 )
