Or, looked at another way, money is property, and property is what we trade for our time and our talents, meaning we trade money for a piece of our lives.
I know you hate to recognize it, but money is INDEED A MORAL ISSUE becuase issues of taxation and regulation are really matters of THEFT of a man’s life. Think about it.
What wrong's with you, you have NO IDEA what I believe - and what I hate to recognize - YOU ONLY ASSUME and that makes you WRONG. Get to know the difference between a love of money and money. God gives us the power to attain wealth.
Did you see where Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, David, Solomon were hurting financially? Abraham was asked to leave one place because he was so wealthy and he started out with nothing. Solomon asked for wisdom and he got wisdom and revelation and he attained above and beyond.
What don't you get about this? What did you do - take some vow of poverty? Poverty is a curse! And Jesus redeemed us from the curse. God tells us to bless others, so we must have a lot left over after our own needs (not wants) are met. So now tell me what I HATE to recognize? God is my Source for everything and that includes money. He gives me wisdom, He opens doors that no one can close, He gives me favor with man.
"But seek you FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and His righteousness; and ALL THESE THINGS shall be added unto you."
"The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts." Haggai 2:8
Remember, GOD owns it all! So what part of serving two masters don't you get now? You love the one and hate the other. Where is YOUR focus? On God/His Kingdom or on money?
