How do we become a believer who is a slave to money? It doesn’t happen overnight. It doesn’t happen even for lack of financial education or econmic understanding. It doesn’t happen for lack of budget or even because you bought a nice car or a big fancy house.

It happens because of sin in our hearts, growing and taking root. Discontentment. Lack of thankfulness. Laziness. Greed. Selfishness. Lack of trust in God. Putting our trust in the temporal - in the earthly, instead of in Christ.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus established the standard of the law and taught His disciples a vital principle: no one can serve two masters. To think otherwise is to deceive ourselves. Join Elizabeth Giles and Monika Walker as they look at money through a biblical lens.

When this is the day you want what you want and you want it now - remember that you are a slave to Christ, not to Jeff Bezos. Put off whatever sins of the heart have you longing for the earthly goods, renew your mind with scripture, and put on contentment.

1 Timothy 6:9–10

9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
