“Many of Jesus’ words about money involved warnings. Jesus recognized that the chief competitor to our dependence on Him is our money. When we have enough cash, food, and possessions, we can become self-reliant. Therefore, money is not seen by God as a benign and neutral thing. Money is power, and power competes with God for supremacy in our lives.” – Rich Stearns, President, World Vision US and author of The Hole in Our Gospel writing in the introduction to Secure: Discovering True Financial Freedom
Money is one of the most powerful forces in our life. In fact, it’s always been that way. Going back thousands of years, Isaiah warns the people of Israel to not be enamored with the wealth of the nations around them because of how it will seduce them.
In this latest podcast I talk a little about my personal “epiphany” and how God led me to scripture to better understand money’s seductive power to lead me away from Him.
