Have you ever asked yourself, seriously, whether or not you’ve been taught the truth about stewardship, about money, and about where your treasure (and thus your heart) really is? Where did you get your thoughts, your habits, the principles you consciously (or perhaps unconsciously) use to get money and spend money, the truth from God about stewardship?
The reality is that in this confused world – and it is greatly confused – the likelihood is that we may be handling what God puts in our hands NOT with the truth (of the word of http://god)...but simply the way that most everybody else does. That likelihood is quite high. We may well be simply floating down-stream with everyone else instead of swimming purposefully against the current. Listening to the world more when it comes to money, possessions & eternity, than listening to the Lord.
The prosperity gospel lie has been around a long time. So what is the truth about stewardship, about money and spending, about our hearts and our treasure?
Teach Your Children Well
February 21, 2021 • David Staff
In the first weeks of 2021, we have been listening to the Holy Spirit about our investments. Our gracious God, who owns everything, graciously puts so much treasure into our hands. The treasure of time. The treasure of talents and abilities. The treasure of money and assets. And where—Jesus reminds us—we put that treasure, we shall also find our heart.
We cannot, Jesus insists, serve both God and money, but we can serve God with our treasure. Someday, we shall give an account to our Lord about our investment of what belonged to Him.
But we will also give an account on how we discipled our children and our teenagers in this critical area. Where is their heart, as a result of where they have placed their treasure. This sermon will challenge us to consider how we are leading our children.
