Riches

On Friday April 14, 2000 the stock market took a dramatic fall. Hardest hit were the technology stocks. In that one day Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and the world's richest man, lost eleven billion dollars. He lost eleven billion dollars in one day! It was dramatic proof of the Biblical text in Proverbs 23:5: "Riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven." And Proverbs 27:24 "Riches do not endure forever!" Not to mention 1 Timothy 6:7 "For we brought nothing into the world and we can take nothing out of it."
