Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Romans 6:16
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Excellent post. High Distinction for VioletReigns. 
By the way, I love your username. How did you come up with it?

But I do love African violet oil and pretty much anything violet scented. Remember these mints?
^I love them, too!
Anyhoo, I love that all of God's children reign with Christ Jesus. Therefore Violet Reigns! \

Raining Violets was my favorite Avon scent when I was a teenage girl. I can't find it now. But I do love African violet oil and pretty much anything violet scented. Remember these mints?

Your statement, "No one can't serve two master." is the same as saying, "Anyone can serve two master(s)." A double negative is two negatives in one sentence. Using two negatives turns the thought or sentence into a positive one. That's proper English grammar.
It's also a message for you, dear.
"You can't serve God and mammon," isn't just talking about money. Jesus is making a point that our driving force in life should be our relationship with Him. I believe Jesus used money as an example because money is associated with most things we want.
This whole passage shows Jesus explaining why we shouldn't worry about things and that He is our Provider. It's as simple as that.

He's been a member for over a year and a half ... and as of this reply, he's made 478 posts ... and has yet to "Like" a single post made by another. I'm of the mind that he hasn't yet learned ... and accepted that his sins have been forgiven when asked for with an open and contrite heart. Nothing else could explain his expressed inner turmoil.
