When men will run great risks and invest much in worldly enterprises, but are unwilling to venture or invest much in the cause of God to send the truth to their fellow-men, they give evidence that they value their earthly treasure just as much more highly than the heavenly as their works show... //GW92 51.3//+Men will invest means in that which they value the most, and which they think will bring them the greatest profits.
