What Jesus Taught About Money, page 103
1. Jesus taught that the pursuit of wealth must never be our #1 priority.
"For what profit is it to a man if he gains the world, and loses his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26
Page 104 - Jesus was never really concerned with how much money a person might have or not. Rather, He was concerned with the attitude toward money.
DLS - this attitude goes for an abundance or lack of; money in general. The right attitude can only come from God, through Jesus Christ, with the urgings of the Holy Spirit.
Note: during the past 6 months, in addition to Stanley's book, I've read some books on "thinking," including "Physcho-Cybernenics," "As A Man Thinketh," Piper's "Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God," Maxwell's "How Successful People Think" and currently reading "The Science of Getting Rich."
Praying for a much deeper awareness of success, money and the glorification of God. What does He want me to believe, to know?
To that end.....
