Blessed or Not Blessed?

Following Jesus. As I talked about on Sunday, some of the most telling spiritual decisions we make on a daily basis are what we do with our wealth. Do we get in the pool with our wallet, or without?

“No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." (Matthew 6:24).
If we are going to live ALL in, Jesus says we must serve Him with our money.

And this is such a HUGE area because it's a place where we are most tempted to separate the sacred and the secular. To say: 'This is MINE, and this is gods.' And when we do that it scrambles our spiritual lives! Why else did Jesus talk about money more than anything else, more even than prayer and faith?

It's ALL His. It's ALL spiritual.
Are you resisting? You're not resisting me. You're resisting God. If you weren't there on Sunday I encourage you to click here and listen to the message.

And I challenge you as God Himself did in Malachi 3: "Test Me in this . . . and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have enough room for it."

What are you waiting for? Get in the pool!
