Sunday Sermon: Arrow of Financial Crisis
/Arrow of Financial Crisis
“1. And there was a great outcry of the people and their wives against their Jewish brethren.
2. For there were those who said, “We, our sons, and our daughters are many; therefore let us get grain, that we may eat and live.”
3. There were also some who said, “We have mortgaged our lands and vineyards and houses, that we might buy grain because of the famine.”
4. There were also those who said, “We have borrowed money for the king’s tax on our lands and vineyards.
5. Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and indeed we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have been brought into slavery. It is not in our power to redeem them, for other men have our lands and vineyards.””
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.”
“The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.”
