You and I both have many thing in this world that we’d kind of like to have, but we can’t afford. And at some point, the temptation creeps in to acquire those things through dishonesty.

We live in a world where most of us have many more choices about what to spend our money on, than we have, the money to spend, if that makes sense. Demand exceeds supply.

Jesus kind of propounds some pretty radical views it turns out, about how we use our money - kind of an 'all-in', 'put it all on the line' approach. Can make us squirm quite frankly. But if you and I - if we were actually to implement that in our lives - how would we do that? In practical terms, what does it look like?

Been talking on the program these last couple of weeks about money and giving to God’s work. I guess there are quite a number of people who’ve said to themselves - you know that guy on the radio is right. I need to be more committed financially to God’s work. And the question that then immediately arises is - how much should we give? Good question.

You’d think that the more money you have, the easier it is to give some of it away. Turns out though that for many, that just isn’t true. The more we have, the more we’re seduced into wanting to hang onto it ? and then, in fact, the more it hangs on to us. It’s a tyranny - a tyranny that we need to walk away from.

It’s nice to work hard and earn money and enjoy the fruits of that. That’s good and it’s right and actually it’s what God says in the Bible. And it’s also nice to give something back - to those less fortunate than us perhaps. The question is - how do we give? Do we give out of our surplus, or out of the money that really, we need for ourselves?

In this world we learn pretty quickly that winning is good, losing is bad. Fair enough. But sometimes winning is losing and losing is winning. That’s actually what Jesus said. He meant it in every part of our lives - and He particularly meant it, when it comes to money. Our Money, a touchy subject.

We would love sometimes to have a foot in both camps ? God and money. But it doesn’t work because it’s like being a dog with two masters. One says sit, the other says come ? which one is the dog going to obey. Either one, or the other. Turns out, you can’t serve them both.

Jesus said some terribly inconvenient things about money. Truly He did ? things that for the most, we’d rather not hear. But as He invariably does, He puts His finger right on the spot, right on the problem that so many have with money ? and not just the problem. He has a solution ? because what He wants is not so much our money, but our hearts.

Money’s a great servant but a brutal master. Wealth is enticing, so it’s easy to be seduced and before we know it ? we’re slaves to it. But it was never meant to be that way. Money ? or wealth - was never meant to be our master. Instead, what you and I are called to do, is to exercise mastery over money.

Money as it turns out is a pretty good servant, but a brutal master. So many people chase so hard after wealth that instead of money serving them, they end up becoming slaves to it. That which promised so much, instead becomes the source of much pain. It’s not what we expected, It’s just what happens.

You’ve perhaps heard it said that money is the root of all evil. It comes from the Bible. But actually that’s not what it says. It says that the love of money is the root of all evil. That’s quite a different thing. It turns out that our attitude towards money, rather than money per se ? can be quite a problem in our lives.

Most relationships are based on an implicit two way contract. I’ll do this, if you do that. But since neither party can uphold their end of the bargain perfectly, they fall short. The two way contract doesn’t work in an imperfect world. What we need - is a radically different approach. It’s called ? grace.
