Reflections with Andy - Luke 16: 1-13 - The Good and Dishonest Manager

This parable can be confusing at first, but when you step back, it’s really about stewardship and the heart. The “dishonest” manager isn’t praised for being shady — he’s praised for being shrewd, for using what he had while he could. Jesus isn’t telling us to be manipulative; He’s reminding us to be wise with what’s been entrusted to us. Everything we have — our money, gifts, time, opportunities — ultimately belongs to God. The question isn’t how much we have, but how we’re using it. Are we serving God or serving wealth? Because we can’t do both. Our job isn’t ownership — it’s stewardship. So today, let’s use what God’s given us well, not for our own gain, but for His glory and the good of others.Shameless plug: here’s a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.
