THE ADVANTAGES OF WEALTH: WEALTH'S POWER TO DO GOOD
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. The Advantages Of Wealth
a) One cannot serve both God and mammon, but one can certainly serve God with mammon. In 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 Paul mentions three things that profit from business enables a Christian to do. Obviously the more wealth one gains, the grander the scale on which one can do things.
2. Wealth's Power To Do Good.
a) Show practical love of the brethren to turn thought and word into deed.
b) Behave properly toward outsiders, setting a good example. The higher the profile the better.
c) Not be in any need yourself and have the means to help those who do have need (Ephesians 4:28).
d) So whilst wealth is not without serious problems to be dealt with, and dangers to avoid, wealth is not without advantage either. To some it may be given to be wealthy and to use that wealth to the kind of advantage that pleases God.
