Four Mottoes:

1. What's mine is my own, and what's thine shall be mine. This is robbery.

2. What's mine is my own, and what's thine is thine own. This is worldly honesty.

3. What's mine is thine, and what's thine is mine. This is communism; the fancied heaven of the natural man.

4. What's mine is thine, and what's thine may still be thine. This is LOVE; the only way to become possessed of all things is by surrendering all things.

"Having nothing and yet possessing all things." "Whosoever will be chiefest, shall be servant of all."

This is not as clear as it might seem. In fact, motto #4 is not love.

Can anyone tell why?



Words can be very slippery things in the hands of the adversary.

Be careful, don't eat all that feeds the natural man.


In love,

I believe the very premise of the 4 mottos are wrong because nothing is truly mine but God's in the first place, therefore

MOTTO 5

Nothing is either mine nor thine but God's

In Christ,

Matthew
