Money in the Hands of Good People Does Good Things | Freedom Friday

from Why Did We Start This?

Mindset is a buzzword right now, and I know it makes a lot of Christians nervous. It made me nervous a couple of years ago too, so today I want to rub some cats the wrong way. We grew up being taught that if you open my checkbook you can tell where my heart is. Nobody ever taught us how to think about money, only how to spend it. Then we had dinner with friends this week and one of them apologized for having a guest house, and I told her to stop. I do not care if you have ten Lamborghinis in a ten car garage. Deuteronomy 8:18 says God gives you the power to create wealth, and that is not the same as raining down manna, which was provision for a single day. One of my friends puts it this way: money in the hands of good people does good things.
