Living Your Life without Losing Your Soul

 

Matthew 16:26 (NLT)

   And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?  Is anything worth more than your soul?

 

 

Matthew13:44-46 (NRSV)

44 ‘The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

45 ‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; 46on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
