Season 2, Ep. 13: Let's normalize wealth among Christians. So many "religious" messages portray wealth and financial abundance among Christians as a bad thing. One of the main reasons, I believe, is because they want to make sure that we know that money shouldn't be more important than God - and to be real - a lot of people elevate money to the highest position in their lives. It has become the most important thing, when relationship with God, honoring Him with our lives and following His direction should remain most important.
.
We've got to mature into that understanding and then accept that I can keep God as my priority and continually reorient my life around Him daily AND be financially abundant. AND be wealthy. I believe that Christians should be wealthy, to fulfill the practical needs of the Kingdom and God's instruction in the world. Just a few of the things that wealth makes easier include:
* Leaving an inheritance for your children's children - Proverbs 13:22
* Taking care of the disadvantaged - James 1:27
.
Let's normalize Christian wealth. Let's do it in a wise way that keeps Christ and His direction in the center. Let's understand that our financial blessing is both for us and for us to direct with wise stewardship in the world. It's ok for you to be financially abundant, and in fact, it's a reward symbolizing your obedience according to Deuteronomy 28:1-14. Verse 12 says "The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none."
