3 LIES CULTURE TELL ABOUT MONEY
October 1, 2023 • Pastor Philip Sundar
In a world bombarded by societal pressures and cultural norms, it's essential to recognize the three profound lies culture often tells about money. As we delve into this enlightening journey, we are reminded of John 8:12, where Jesus proclaimed himself as the "light of the world," guiding us out of darkness and into the light of life. The first deception, "Your Money Equals Your Success," is debunked with the wise words of Luke 12:15, warning against the allure of possessions. We explore stories of Judas, Lazarus, the Rich Man, and Cornelius, all reflecting the significance of godliness and contentment. The second fallacy, "You Don't Need Anyone Else," finds its counterpoint in the parable of the Rich Fool from Luke 12:16-21 and the cautionary verse from Isaiah 5:8. Nebuchadnezzar's story serves as a vivid example. Lastly, the notion that "You Only Get One Life" is confronted with the biblical wisdom found in Proverbs 13:22 and Deuteronomy 30:19. Join us in exposing these cultural falsehoods and seeking the true light of financial wisdom.
