How do you use money without serving money which Jesus said not to do?

[jennifer_bloom]

I know many Christians that have ruined their lives by trying to serve God and money at the same time and the bible says you cannot do both.

But we live in a world where you need a place to live, and something to eat, and a doctor and dentist when your in need.

Christ said a love of money, not money itself, was a path towards evil.

Consider His teaching regarding lilies and how even Solomon had no adornments to rival it.

Money is a tool. No more good or evil than a hammer or a saw. If you put a bag of cash on a table and leave it there the table isn't now evil for holding the money.

It's about Stewardship. How we use the money we get. Harm or heal. The same blade can be used by a soldier to kill or a surgeon to heal. The blade itself has no power until in the hands of man.

The same as money.

Money is a tool. The problem is when it becomes an idol.

By giving your 15 percent. It doesn’t have to be to a church. Could be a homeless person. A church. Donation. Getting someone something they need or want. The list goes on.

Not selling yourself out for money. Meaning. Not doing something. Unethical, immoral, or illegal with the money.

Just don't borrow money or use the debt system... I adhere to that. I'm not even a Christian but when I hear something I will understand the point.

Use money according to your daily needs. Don't just grift for a bigger bank balance. Of course this advice only applies to multi-millionaires. You know how it is with 10%+ inflation.

Do you mean saving money (not serving)?

[jennifer_bloom]

Jesus said you cannot serve both money and God and I know Christians who exclude poor people from church because it interferes with their ability to attract intelligent mentors.
