Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
A recent Lifeway Research survey of American Protestant church goers revealed respondents’ expectations for financial blessings. More than three-quarters (76%) said they agree or strongly agree that God wants them to prosper financially.
Our work generates income, but we need to check ourselves if we have made money the focus of our work output. There’s a reason that Jesus spent so much time challenging his followers to see finances in the proper context of God’s plans.
“Then he (Jesus) said to them, ‘Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.’” (Luke 12:15)
God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to be obedient. God’s blessings go far beyond financial.
