Over the past week I have been thinking a lot about the future......it's hard not to when you have a baby and a move dangling in the distance. I've been praying lately for wisdom, especially when it comes to parenting and our future finances. Fast forward to last night........I was checking in on sermons from one of my favorite pastors {Mark Driscoll @ Mars Hills....in Seattle!!!} and last weeks message was on being a wise steward of money. I encourage you to check out the video below.......
In this difficult parable, Jesus teaches about money from the negative example of a dishonest manager. Everything belongs to God, and we are to wisely steward it. Jesus gives us a kingly, priestly, and prophetic view of money: Christians—rich and poor—need to be shrewd stewards who use their money to love people because wealth will fail (if not in this life, then at the end of this life). Money is a wonderful tool and a horrible god. Your money reveals your heart. Are you a shrewd steward who is able to love others financially? Do you understand that, in time, invariably, your wealth will fail you?
