“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” (Luke 16:10-13 ESV)
This chapter is full of lessons on handling, or mishandling, money. How we do so reveals much about who we serve. A radical commitment to Christ has a dramatic impact on whether we spend or save, squander or share, serve or steward our resouces. Being a follower of Christ, a Kingdom citizen demands that we stop seeing money as the avenue to success, purpose and fulfillment, and use it rather as a way to share Christ, minister to others, and live responsibly. What does your money-handling reveal about you?
