2. Matthew 6:24
24 “No one can be loyal to two
masters. He is bound to hate one
and love the other, or support one
and despise the other. You cannot
serve God and the power of
money at the same time.”
3. Matthew 6:24
31-33 “So don’t worry and don’t keep
saying, ‘What shall we eat, what shall we
drink or what shall we wear?! That is
what pagans are always looking for; your
Heavenly Father knows that you need
them all. Set your heart on the kingdom
and his goodness, and all these things
will come to you as a matter of course.
