    Just as Judas betrayed Jesus because of his love for money so many people betray the Lord today for similar greedy reasons. Judas had special abilities to keep accounts of the apostles money as demonstrated by their agreement to allow him to be in charge

    Solomon once wrote,"An unfaithful man is like a foot out of joint or a sore tooth." (Proverbs) Many people do not realize how painful it is when they are not faithful to God or to those who count on them. Actually, unfaithfulness, at its worst, is displayed in the life of Judas. Let us look at ...read more
