Money, Possessions, and Eternity

Both are supreme acts of worship

Half of all marriages end in divorce, and 80 percent of divorced people indicate that financial issues played a primary role in ending their marriage

My growth in financial stewardship has closely paralleled my overall spiritual growth

Jesus was interested enough in what people were giving to make an object lesson for his disciples (Mark 12:43-44).

Our stewardship of our money and possessions becomes the story of our lives

that our handling of money is a litmus test of our true character. It’s an index of our spiritual life

Where did it all go? What did I spend it on? What has been accomplished for eternity through my use of all this wealth?

This shows that our beliefs about money are not only radically different from God’s but diametrically opposed to them

Jesus regarded the woman as wise.

John couldn’t talk about spirituality without talking in terms of how we handle our money and possessions.
