Today on Summit Life with J.D. Greer.

Jesus says all your stockpiled treasures here are about to be worthless.

You can't take any of it with you, but you can send it on ahead.

Second Corinthians, Chapter 8, at this present time, right now now your abundance is a supply for their need

Just like it was written in the book of exodus he who gathered much did not have too much and he who gathered little had no lack a reference to the story when they're in the wilderness
