How do you manage your money and giving? Is it Jesus' way?
Who was he pleased with?…. the widow who gave everything she
had to live on (have you ever done that?)…and who couldn't
follow him?….the rich young man who chose his money over Jesus.
Read the New Testament and see how Paul and the early church
gave freely out of their poverty to serve the church in need.
Today much of our giving in the Western church must grieve
the heart of the Father. How is it that so often we can ignore
the needs of our brothers and sisters around the world, many
of whom are starving, while we live in luxury and complacency?
If you want to change the world - then start now! Begin some
redistribution, open your wallet, and give radically what
is not even yours to start with.
Remember the woman with the jar of perfume? She poured out
her inheritance at the feet of Jesus. 'What a waste!?' Well,
lets waste our money at his feet.
