Too Many BROKE Christians Around. Come Join the HAVES instead of the HAVE NOTS!

from Christians and Money · host Dr. Trudy Beerman, DSL

The sitcom, The Haves and the Have Nots, by Tyler Perry is a huge hit!  It is a compelling drama - or so I hear.  I do not watch TV much. In reality, many Christians are among the 'have nots'.  They are in line for hand-outs!  Christians are tithing less, finding it hard to give when they look at what they do have through eyes of scarcity.  Many believe wealth in the Bible to be an Old Testement experience that has no place in the New Testement, nor in the current age.  The Christians that are wealthy today are publicly chastised in the media as if having wealth is a crime, or a privilege only for those of the world. We cannot GIVE what we do not HAVE!  To be generous, does start with a mindset to be generous, but many who want to give, find a moment of true pain when they know they cannot afford to.  They too, need the handout.  YOU CAN'T GIVE WHAT YOU DO NOT HAVE! - The Profitable Steward should seek to HAVE extra, to share! Luke 3:11 "He answered, “Whoever has two coats should share with somebody who has none, and whoever has food should do the same.” "Whoever has two [ ] should share"  Having TWO is having MORE THAN YOU CAN USE OR NEED!  When you only have enough FOR YOU, you ARE NOT among those with TWO - who now have the ability and privilege, to share.  Become part of the group of THOSE WHO HAVE!  Leave the group needing the handouts - THE HAVE NOTS!  Join the Profitable Stewardship Community.
