“If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master.”
— Francis Bacon
In what ways does money rule your life?
Money has entered so deeply into our lives that it can become our primary reference point. We make so many of our decisions based on how they affect the bottom line. Do you compromise things you really value for money? Has the power of money hurt your relationships, your health, your work or your self-respect?
“If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.”
— Billy Graham
It is lack of wisdom (applied knowledge) in the how to’s of making money a servant, i find the greatest barrier.
The church has a lot to say on tything, financial support, not allowing money to master one, but little to say on the how to’s.
Money isnt the root of all evil…but the love/blindsighted persuit of money is…i say to the church “show me how”.
