Money And Our Relationship With God

Earthly Treasure Is Uncertain

Economic inflaction can erode its value and thieves can steal it, be the thief an individual or an agency.  Heavenly treasure is the only investment with a guarantee rate of return for all eternity.

Where Are Your Affection

How we spend our money shows us where our affection is.  If we spend all our money on ourselves, we love ourselves most of all.  If we invest 10 percent or more of our money to spread the gospel, we show we love God and the gospel.

You Cannot Serve God And Money

You cannot serve God and money at the same time.  "You cannot serve God and Mammon [money]".  Either Jesus is your Lord, or money is!  It's simple.  You cannot have it both ways.  The direction of your life and the form of your ministy will be determined either by Jesus or by your relationship with money - one or the other.

"But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.

"For the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a pang.  But free from these things, you man of God" (1 Tim 6:9-11)
