Lord of Materialism


“The man of pseudo faith will fight for his verbal creed but refuse flatly to allow himself to get into a predicament where his future must depend upon that creed being true. He always provides himself with secondary ways of escape so he will have a way out if the roof caves in. What we need very badly these days is a company of Christians who are prepared to trust God as completely now as they know they must do at the last day.” - A. W. Tozer, The Root of the Righteous
"Mammon" is but an alias of the Prince of Darkness, who has a vested interest in whether or not we understand and obey Christ's commands concerning money and possessions.  Because of the spiritual warfare that surrounds this great subject of money and possessions, it is not something to delve into without prayer.  What we do with our money loudly affirms which kingdom we belong to.  Whenever we use our resources selfishly and indifferently we further Satan's goals.

God's Word is grain - our word is straw.  His Word is the fire that consumes and the hammer that breaks.

The best way to check our heart's attitude regarding material possessions is to allow all the principles of God's Word to penetrate our innermost being --
For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.- Hebrews 4:12
