"Do not lay up for
yourselves treasures upon earth……. "No one can serve two masters; for
either he will hate the one and love the other…..Be on your guard against every
form of greed…. Owe nothing to anyone……Give to him who asks of you…..”
Jesus was radical in
his messages to the people of his day. His words
are still radical in their message to us regarding
financial and stewardship matters! He reminds us of the dangers of “loving”
money and lives controlled by wants. He speaks about giving that shows where
our hearts truly are found. And, he encourages us to keep our eyes on God
rather than the latest fad or fashion. Faced
with choices every day, we constantly choose between the ways of the world and “another way of living.”
…….. ..TOSS IN THE CAN or RECYCLE THE CAN?
……… SECOND HELPING or HELPING THE HUNGRY?
……… COLLECT MORE or SHARE MORE?
……… GO FOR A WALK or SIT AND WATCH TV?
……….BUY NOW or SAVE TO BUY?
It’s vital that when we
face the little and big stewardship choices of each day, we listen carefully to
that still, small voice that whispers………….
“What would Jesus do?”
What will you do?
What will you do?
