God and Mammon
No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” Luke 16:13
This verse is all about our relationship with money.
Mammon refers to money.
You can’t love/serve money and serve your God at the same time.
Money is a requirement for life.
We need money to function, to support ourselves and to bless others.
There is nothing wrong with having money and using money.
But we must be mindful that we don’t allow money to use us.
How we use our money and relate to our money is at the heart of the question.
Money is one of those areas that can lend itself to greed and idolatry.
We are not to worship anything or anyone other than God.
He demands our loyalty.
The Bible is very clear, you cannot serve two masters.
Today we need to look at our relationship with money and our relationship with God and decide who we will serve.
