Watch "When Wealth Strangles" By Greg SiddersWhite Pine Community Church March 19, 2017
It
is impossible to follow Jesus in a society as prosperous as America
without ever wrestling with the question of what He wants you to do with
your money.
Unfortunately,
answers to that question--even by those who claim to teach the
Bible--vary so dramatically that, lacking clarity, we gravitate toward
our preferences ... or, to use the language of the apostle Paul, we
gather around us a great number of teachers to say what our itching ears
want to hear (2 Timothy 4:3).
But I dare you to find a prosperity preacher who regularly quotes the Gospel
of Luke. Why? Well, let's just say Luke doesn't scratch where we itch.
But
integrity demands that we brace ourselves and let Luke speak, because
his
Gospel contains far more words of Jesus on the subject of money and
possessions than any other New Testament book. So this Sunday at White
Pine, we are going to highlight every quote of Jesus in the Gospel of
Luke that has financial implications.
I promise you this: Clarity.
