Profit or Penury!

"In all labor there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury." Proverbs 14:23

Very popular films such as, Eight Mile starring Eminem or The Green Mile with Tom Hanks will never compare to the most popular film The Passion of The Christ starring Jesus Christ because of the distance that he traveled to save our soul. There is a vast distance between penury (poverty) and gain (profit). In Mark 8:36, 37 it reads, "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Talk is cheap and leads to poverty when our works do not coincide. James said "Faith without works is dead" James 2:17 and he questioned us saying, "For what doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?" James 2:14 See, there is a huge distance between labor and laziness, profit and poverty, the comfy couch and the cross, hell and heaven, and death and life. This huge distance is made near to us by the work that Jesus has done on the cross to save our soul. This is the mile, "The Red Mile" or "The 40th mile" if you will, that is the most popular of all times, it was his blood that made the difference between poverty and gain and the cross or the 40th stripe that takes us the distance that we need to go.

Ask Jesus into your heart today and take it upon yourself to go the distance to the cross where forgiveness and mercy waits for you! In this you will profit for eternity!
