Security in money is a constant battle in the life of every Christian. When we win this “security battle” and anchor our whole lives on God and His promises, we will discover that being generous stems from an experience of God’s overflowing grace and the desire for His name to be honored.

How will I know if I love money more than God?

We want to be able to discern between greed and contentment. And in doing so, we will be able to pursue God and what matters to Him.

In just a span of a century, we’ve seen vast numbers of people flock and relocate to cities, or metros, which have turned into centers of activity all around the world. While this move may be a means for people to meet their felt needs, God, as revealed in Scripture, has planned this beforehand to be a means to carry out His plan of redemption for all mankind. 

We are able to endure, persevere, and overcome all things in this life because of a heavenly vision of the New Jerusalem. We are just pilgrims here on earth because our true home is the city in heaven whose architect and builder is God.
