1st. Thessalonians 4:11-12 says to make it your aim to live a quiet life, to mind your own business, and earn your own living, just as we told you before. In this way you will win the respect of those who are not believers, and you will not have to depend on anyone for what you need. Only the Poor are trying to look rich. We need to get comfortable with Looking Poor and being rich in secret. What is our Investment? Not only is it cheaper to look poor, it’s safer to look poor, it is wiser to look poor, and it is IMPORTANT to look poor.  Most of the truly rich are not spending on brand names especially clothing.  If you are wearing brand names that cost a certain amount, even if you’re posing like having the real thing by getting knock offs, you are tipping your hand.  You are effectively advertising your wealth (or lack of).  You become attractive to people who are shallow, and people who want to borrow.  Let's teach our children the value of SQUEEZING a dollar.  If you want designer clothes, and want to look polished that is fine, but first let's have money invested, money put away for the trials and tribulations that we have been told to expect.  Let us learn that outside appearances are not nearly as important as having the fruits of the spirit, and a relationship with the Creator of all THINGS.  We want our youth to know that the true riches are INSIDE a person.  They are things you cannot see like kindness, gentleness, patience, self control, faithfulness, honesty JOY and LOVE...If We Dont help Our Youth Now, We Will Be Victims Of Not Helping Later...Bring Back The Family
