I know that many who read this blog are helping others learn and apply what the Bible has to say about finances–praise the Lord for you! Well, the Lord and I had another great quiet time together this morning…He’s been showing me something I thought I’d pass along to you. When God gives us a chance to share with others what He’s sharing with us as part of His “Financial Freedom God’s Way Online Academy,” we need to share a word from God, not a sermon on finances. People don’t need another sermon. They need a divine message. This really makes sense when you think about the fact that today, more sermons are preached every week than at any other time in history. Today we have countless churches, worship services, Christian television and radio programs, Christian books, Christian conferences, and special ministries. Yet the spiritual condition of North America and the world continues to deteriorate. Jesus claimed in John 8:32 that the truth would set people free, yet despite the plethora of sermons and the technology to make them easily available, people are experiencing increasing bondage. We need to remember to ask the Holy Spirit to speak a message from God through us and not just deliver a sermon/teaching on finances. Eloquent words don’t changes lives; divine words do. |
