Thanks for helping me work my way through this folks.... you see - I am going to Reno next month...

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

I guess you could rephrase the question by asking, "Is scripture important?"
Some say it has only a spiritual application for today...

I know Stephen's intent was on a monetary level and that is fine. If you can leave your children something to put them further ahead than you were when you started out that's good. But there are other riches handed down that a plummeting stockmarket can't take away. The Godly example of good parents. The smell of warm bread and supper on the stove. The many family gatherings of uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents laughing and playing. The many hunting and camping trips. The lively, and yes even heated, discussions of scripture. Memories, memories, I'm rich in memories!
I know my children will find they are also rich in memories when I am gone. But if those memories are lined with a little silver, ... all the better.

Amen Raven! No argument from me that our best inheritance is not of silver - Great post!

My folks are still alive, so, of course, I voted YES!!
LOL!
My father has gone to be with the Lord, and the assets my mother has will be divided between nine kids... not much in it for me!
