THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF WEALTH
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Wealth
a) Everyone needs to know and understand Christ's attitude toward wealth. Mammon is a word used in some translations instead of money or wealth. The word mammon is pejorative, and expresses wealth tainted with evil.
2. The Responsibilities Of Wealth
a) The parable of the rich man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31) and the story of the rich ruler (Luke 18:18-24) illustrate the added responsibility that the rich have to help the poor.
b) The principle and responsibility of stewardship (1 Peter 4:10) can apply to wealth as to any other manifestation of God's grace. Good stewardship does not mean hoarding wealth, but using it wisely and well, making it bear fruit.
