Playing around with Bible art and design

 ¹⁹“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. ²¹For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ²²“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. ²³But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

 ²⁴“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

Matthew 6 : 19 – 24

I’ve been reading Jesus CEO, and it contained a great deal of wisdom that its taken probably 12 months or more to really learn.  However, it proves true both in spiritual and business realms (although I believe the attempt to separate the two is misguided).  Laurie Beth Jones recounts the following story:
