Topic: Money and the bible
From this passage, we extract a profound lesson: no one can serve two masters, for we can truly commit to one, either God or Money. This makes a clear choice and highlights that our loyalty and focus should be on just one thing.
We live in a world where people made money look like God, they started to worship it instead of God. Sometimes it’s easy to lose your relationship with God when you get influenced by money. I have seen many Pastors treat their church members according to what they can offer. I saw people being rejected at the prayer lines because they did not come with money to give to the prophet. Those who offered more were given titles and positions in the church, which is not a good practice. Churches are suffering today because of the love of money. When God created money the idea was not for us to put it above Him.
In Matthew 6:21 (NIV) Jesus says, For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. This indicates that our relationship with money can reveal what is truly important to us.
