Money for good

Here’s the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your earthly possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home. - Luke 16:9

But lest we forget money's dangers --

“No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” - Luke 16:13

MONEY FOR GOOD

We law-abiding high-living consumers, satisfy our self-indulgent whims and appetites for comfort

or pleasure through clearly superior means--we buy ever-larger houses and fill them with ever-more goodies. "And

where is the harm in that?" we ask, not seeking or wanting an answer. We deny the obvious truth that there is always a

more Christian use for money that is spent self-indulgently. We even have the audacity to tell ourselves and others

that we "earn" or "deserve" the goodies that give us comfort and pleasure. We seem to have little difficulty divorcing

wealth, materialism, and self-indulgent consumption from serious contemplation of Christian morality. Randy Alcorn
