Jesus reminds us that we can only serve one master – money or the Almighty. If we don’t manage our money, it will manage us. Mammom is personified as a rival god because it fights for supremacy in our lives. Contrary to popular opinion, money is not just a neutral medium of exchange but a “power” with life of its own. As we focus on building for the future, we’ll disarm the dollar dragon by transferring ownership of everything we have to God.
Text: Matthew 6:19-24On this Labor Day weekend, it’s instructive to remember that our work matters to God for at least two reasons. First, God is a worker. He not only created the world, but He continues to work right now. Second, God has created us to be His co-workers. We are not to work for ourselves but with God, and for God. As we work, God provides for our needs and we’re able to joyfully join Him in providing for the needs of others.
