From Stonebrook Community Church in Ames, IA.
The Bible is full of teaching about money and possessions. Most of us spend our lives surrounded by stuff. Especially in our culture there are very very few of us who have literally nothing. All of us interact with money and possessions on a day-in-day-out, indeed moment-by-moment basis. What are we supposed to do with them?
There are a few categories of answer to that question. We are supposed to use them to live, to survive and thrive. We are supposed to enjoy them with contentment (no matter how much of little we have). We are supposed to invest them for the future as we plan ahead wisely for our needs, saving for a rainy day or the day when we’re unable to generate an income. And we are supposed to share them and give them away to help others.
