INTRODUCTION: YEARS AGO A MOVIE CAME OUT CALLED INDECENT PROPOSAL.
IN THE MOVIE A WEALTHY STRANGER OFFERS A STRUGGLING COUPLE ONE MILLION DOLLARS SO THAT HE CAN SLEEP WITH THE WIFE.
THE MOVIE IS REALLY TESTING A PERSONS MORALS BY ASKING THE QUESTION, “ARE YOU FOR SALE?” OR “HOW MUCH ARE YOU WORTH?”
IS YOUR FAITH FOR SALE?
THE BIBLE SAYS IN Matthew 16:26 (NKJV) “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?
Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
