In God We Trust.
In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our relationship with money and material possessions. The central theme revolves around Matthew 6:24, where Jesus teaches that we cannot serve both God and mammon. This isn't just about money, but about the spirit of mammon - a demonic force that can lead us to abuse wealth and misplace our trust. We're reminded that our security, significance, and love should come from God alone, not from our bank accounts or possessions. The message draws interesting parallels between our relationship with God and a healthy marriage, emphasizing that true faithfulness goes beyond mere rule-following to encompass genuine love, trust, and devotion. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to evaluate our hearts and decide which master we'll serve. Will we choose to trust in the God who cares for us more than the birds of the air, or will we succumb to the anxiety and worry that characterize devotion to mammon?
