Choose To Be Rich

The Bible has some direct teaching for those who are rich, but what we may not realize is that this teaching is for all of us. On a global scale, we are among the wealthiest people on the planet, which means that we need to hear and apply what the Scripture says. And that begins with today's message: choose the god you will serve.

We all must choose which message we will believe. The Doctrine of the Deserving says that we should consume all we have on ourselves, while the Gospel of Grace says that we have been blessed in order to be a blessing. The message we choose to embrace will determine the kind of life we live.

We have to decide if we are going to be rich towards ourselves or if we are going to be rich towards God. Whichever method we choose will have an enormous impact on the decisions we make with our stuff.

How you treat what you have now will impact what you have in eternity. We need to lead our hearts toward generosity as we look ahead to the coming age.
