Financial Responsibility In the End Time (1 hr 7 min)

The Bible has a lot to say about money.  Rarely does the Church preach the uncomfortable truth about money.  I have heard many messages about saving, even what kind of car to buy,  and about enjoying wealth on earth, but rarely have I heard messages encouraging Biblical financial responsibility…which is one of the most IRRESPONSIBLE things a person can do in the eyes of the world.  The world generally does not believe in true financial responsibility, in the church and out of it. 

The Bible is never going to change.  Man’s theology about money WILL change, dramatically, in one hour, according to the Bible:

Ezekiel 7:17-19  Every hand will be feeble, And every knee will be as weak as water.  18  They will also be girded with sackcloth; Horror will cover them; Shame will be on every face, Baldness on all their heads.  19  'They will throw their silver into the streets, And their gold will be like refuse; Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them In the day of the wrath of the LORD; They will not satisfy their souls, Nor fill their stomachs, Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.

 

Generosity is the way to prepare for this day.  Silver and gold cannot be your stumbling block if you learn to be free from the desire for money now…but you must take it seriously.  Money will be one of the GREATEST stumbling blocks…the trip that leads to falling away…over the next several years:

Revelation 3:16-19  So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.  17  Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—  18  I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.  19  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

 

There IS a day where all the truth of the word will be tested:

 

Revelation 3:10  Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

 

Are you ready for the test?
