READER 1	Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
READER 2	Don't store them up
READER 3	Hoard them
READER 4	Stash them away
READER 2	Seeking to become richer and richer.
READER 3	Jesus told this parable:
READER 1	The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop.
READER 4	Plentiful harvest.
READER 1	He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.'
READER 2	No place to store it all.
READER 1	This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
READER 2	I'll tear down my barns
READER 3	And build bigger ones.
READER 2	Tear down my barns
READER 4	And build bigger ones.
READER 3	Bigger ones.
READER 2	Bigger.
READER 3	More.
READER 4	Much.
READER 1	And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." '
READER 2	But God said to him, 'You fool!
READER 3	You blind man.
READER 4	You idiot!
READER 1	This very night your life will be demanded from you.
READER 2	Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'
READER 3	This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself
READER 4	But is not rich toward God.
READER 3	Rich toward God.
READER 1	Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,
READER 2	Where moth and rust destroy,
READER 3	And where thieves break in and steal.
READER 1	But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
READER 2	Treasures in heaven.
READER 3	Where moth and rust do not destroy,
READER 4	And where thieves do not break in and steal.
READER 1	For where your treasure is,
READER 2	There your heart will be also.
READERS 1 and 2	For where your treasure is,
READERS 3 and 4	There your heart will be also.
READER 1	The eye is the lamp of the body.
READER 2	The eye is like a window through which the light shines in.
READER 1	If your eyes are good,
READER 3	If your spiritual vision is sound,
READER 4	Your whole body will be full of light.
READER 1	But if your eyes are bad,
READER 2	Your spiritual vision is faulty
READER 3	Off track.
READER 4	Influenced by greed.
READER 1	Your whole body will be full of darkness.
READER 2	If then the light within you is darkness,
READER 3	How great is that darkness!
READER 1	No one can serve two masters.
READER 2	Two masters.
READER 3	Either he will hate the one and love the other,
READER 4	Or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
READER 1	No one can serve two masters.
READER 2	Two masters.
READER 3	You cannot serve both God and Money.
READER 1	God
READER 2	And Mammon.
READER 1	God
READER 3	And materialism.
READER 1	No one can serve two masters.
READER 2	You cannot serve two masters.
READER 3	You cannot serve both God and Money.
ALL	Serve God!
