CHAPTER 15 - YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE
Jesus’ encounter with a rich young ruler facilitates this discussion regarding our need to establish clear priorities concerning the use of the possessions under our stewardship. The young man was asked to choose what he valued most. His initial question to Jesus suggested that he valued eternal life but when asked to choose between his money and eternal life he turned away sorrowfully. God is not against us possessing wealth but He knows the danger of wealth possessing us. Offertory giving provides an opportunity to clarify our priorities.
Reference Scripture:
Mark 10:17 – 22 (rich young ruler)
Supporting Scriptures:
Luke 16:13 ( no servant can serve two masters)
Mark 8:34 – 37 ( what good is it for a man to gain the whole world)
