Here are my introductory remarks:
he world is trying to teach the next generation about
how to handle finances and it is not working. Jesus mentions the word “mammon”
three different times in scripture, and emphasizes that it is absolutely
impossible for anyone to serve both God and mammon. Therefore, if we desire to
serve God, we must recognize what “mammon” is, and the ways it attempts to
invade our thinking and living in this world.
MAMMON is a biblical term, that refers to all material wealth.
“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. Matthew 6:24 NKJV
“And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous
mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home. He who is faithful in what is least is
faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in
much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous
mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in what is
another man’s, who will give you what is your own? “No servant 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. Luke
16:9-13 NKJV
