The world wants God’s money. Advertising tells us that. We also have the same desire everyone else does – the Bible calls this desire the flesh – to spend money selfishly. And the Devil would have us waste money because he is our enemy and the Enemy of God’s Kingdom, and he wants to ruin our life and the work of God. But God tells us how to manage His money in ways that will ultimately benefit us most and bring us greater joy than using our money our way.
