God's Will For Your Earthly Riches (ePub)

What does God think about material riches? Can we have earthly riches without becoming materialistic? Can we desire and create material wealth without falling from the faith? Is it possible to enjoy riches in this life and still enjoy eternity with God? Does money have any eternal value? Can we have a balanced approach on the subject of worldly riches?With fervent zeal for purity, fear of temptations, fear of persecution, and a deep dread for materialistic lifestyles, many honest but ill-informed Christians are embracing poverty and mediocrity and living below God's financial plans for His people. Others, determined to be rich, are ignoring important principles of the Bible, and end up trading the fear of the Lord for material prosperity. Consequently, we have a divided church with contradicting views that is slowing down the progress of God's work. A third school of thought tries to avoid the controversy by staying away from the subject of money and claiming that it is not important. The reality is that believers are spending an average of eight hours a day, five days a week, and about forty years of their precious lives trying to make money in order to pay their rent, buy cars and clothes, finance their homes, sponsor the education of their children, and support their churches. They are working hard to take care of some practical and material needs in their earthly lives. This shows the importance of money. The fact is that many believers all over the world want to make significant financial contributions towards great causes in support of orphans, widows, churches, and other noble initiatives but often end up praying for the Lord to send help through other people because they themselves are financially weak. Church boards spend hours brainstorming on how to meet financial challenges and advance the cause of Christ. This underscores the importance of money. The time has come for us to address the subject more thoroughly and let the Bible speak!God's Will for Your Earthly Riches will take you back to the Bible for answers that will defy popular opinions on the subject of wealth creation, money, and earthly riches. You can now discover why God wants you to grow richer and build more wealth than you will ever need in your lifetime.
