Jesus' teaching on money is hard for the 21st century Christian to hear. Much of our culture is focused on getting and having enough. Worry about financial security continues to confront families in poverty and in wealth. In this sense, worry happens regardless of how much we have. Jesus offers us a way to be set free through generosity. If we can embrace generosity, it will have lasting effects on our lives.
Luke 12:22-24 | June 23, 2024

I’ve always been turned off by exposure to prosperity, gospel, discussion, or churches that seem to thrive in that. Even through my lengthy non-practicing phase of this conversation with God, that felt icky to me. I believe I understand that its origin is in their interpretation of scripture. as I listen to this text from Luke, it makes me wonder if these are the kind of passages they are going that direction with? I won’t try to judge what I don’t really understand, but thank you for taking us in the direction you did, instead.
