Inbred in fallen humanity are two burning desires—a love of money and a quest for power. At one time Christianity confronted these issues and challenged men and women to renounce them and give their allegiance only to Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, in this age of affluence the pursuit of prosperity and power has been falsely legitimized. In some circles it’s called the “prosperity gospel.”
“Lust for money brings trouble and nothing but trouble. Going down that path, some lose their footing in the faith completely and live to regret it bitterly ever after.”
— 1 Timothy 1:9 (MSG)
Lord Jesus, make us good stewards. Help us to use our influence and all of our earthly goods to advance Your Kingdom. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
