Have you ever noticed how everyone is asking for your money?
From the grocery store to your kids' soccer team, you can do nothing without getting your money involved.
And we think nothing of it until a pastor invites us to give and help further the Gospel.
Why is that? Why are we okay with everyone else demanding our money, but when the church asks for money, it causes many to get upset?
It's revealing, really. When we don't want to get our money involved in what the church is doing, it shows who our master really is, and it's not Jesus.
When we have God's perspective on money, we actively look for opportunities to use money to further the Gospel. We take every opportunity to be generous to those around us.
Am I saying that if you fuss about a preacher asking for money, that your master is money? Yes. Absolutely. It's the only explanation.
So, if that's you, you should repent. Turn from your wicked ways.
Jesus said it best. You can't serve both God and money. You have to choose. It's one or the other.
