Monetizing Jesus
April 2, 2018
I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M Earning money is a noble work. If its done God’s way. Sadly some even make money the wrong way using Jesus’ name as the source. One example is in Acts 19: 13–16. The sons of the Jewish chief priest, Sceva, were trying to cast demons out of possessed people in Jesus’ name, for their own personal gain.
V That may sound extreme today, but people can still be drawn to monetizing even a faith based organization. Good beginnings can be compromised. Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money.
M Profitable work, must honor Him first, not seek to monetize. Serve not to build a kingdom here, but to build God’s eternal Kingdom.
