Worldly trends have crept into the church, and there are many Christians who follow corrupt politics and culture.
Among the famous politicians, there is an elder whose actions are very evil.
Members of the National Assembly are supposed to make laws for the people, but they only work for themselves and their party.
Many people of God abandon the will of the Lord and pursue worldly benefits.
The reason Christians are corrupted is because that they follow human doctrines.
They only follow the lusts and honor of the flesh because they think that even future sins have already been forgiven.
They believe that they have already received eternal salvation and that it is the Lord's grace that can never be revoked.
Their souls are deceived by human doctrines. They think that it is okay to steal, be fornicative, worship idols, and get drunk.
However, the Bible says that all who commit sins and do not repent will go to hell.
Do not love money, fame, or worldly things. you should love and serve God first, and then the Lord will provide you with everything you need.
God opens the door of blessing to those who work hard according to the will of the Lord.
If you prioritize worldly things and love them more than God, you will lose your faith and perish.
Those who go to church formally without faith cannot go to heaven.
The Lord said that you cannot serve both God and money (Luke 16:13).
Because God is omnipotent, when the Lord commands, businesses collapse, floods and typhoons come in an instant.
Therefore, those who do not know the Almighty will eventually achieve nothing.
All humans want to succeed in everything they do, but the one who makes it possible is the Creator God.
Those who love money more than God will eventually be ruled by money.
When doing business, it is possible only if the Lord allows it first.
When you earn money, strive to use it to spread the kingdom of God.
Then the Lord will lead your business to success.
Help spread the gospel and help poor brothers and sisters in the faith.
It is right to do relief work through the church. Otherwise, persons who give relief will be boasting about themself.
Small necessities can be delivered directly. However, for things like living expenses, you must do it through the church so that there are no side effects.
When an individual continues to help the poor directly, the one helping becomes as high as God to those receiving help.
Because people with weak faith value what they see more than God.
If this kind of thinking becomes severe, it becomes the path to destruction.
ordinary people follow those who have a lot of money and worldly power.
Church members with little faith consider money and God as equal.
Such church members are idolaters and will eventually perish.
God's people must be extremely careful not to serve money as God.
When church members help poor neighbors, they should do so through the church, not directly, to avoid such side effects.
And when the Lord pours out material blessings, you should use them for the Lord.
When you do so, you will receive a great reward in heaven.
Because they do not follow the Lord's ways, wealthy believers become arrogant and go to hell.
Matthew 19:24,
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
A camel cannot go through the eye of a needle, but no matter how difficult it is, God can do it.
When a rich man prays and obeys, the Lord repents the proud heart of the rich man and leads him to live according to the will of the Lord, leading him to heaven.
When our lives are entrusted to God, His power and wisdom transform our hearts and lead us to heaven.
Whether rich or poor, when they acknowledge their own shortcomings and pray to the Lord,
God accomplishes even things that are more difficult than a camel going through the eye of a needle.
A rich young man came to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what must I do to be saved?”
The Lord said to him, “Keep the commandments.” He said to the Lord, “I have kept the commandments since I was a child.”
The Lord said, “But you lack one thing.” The Lord’s words meant that the young man did not have a heart of love.
A person without love may have a lot of wealth, but he does not have the heart to share it with others; he has a heart without love.
The rich man only outwardly kept the Ten Commandments and respected his parents.
However, he had no love in his heart, and he could not truly share the grace of the Lord with others.
This young man returned home distressed after hearing the Lord's words (Matt. 19:22).
So, because he disobeyed the Lord's command, he fell into hell the moment he died.
Money is very dangerous. If you use it according to God's will, you will be blessed and go to heaven.
However, those who misuse money will be cursed and go to hell.
Those who use money according to the Lord's will believe in the reality of heaven, so they live a life of obedience and repentance.
However, those who misuse money do not believe in the reality of heaven.
So they live for the pleasures of the flesh and go to hell.
Luke 16:13-14
"No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.“
The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.
The Pharisees were money lovers, so when Jesus preached this sermon, they laughed at him (Luke 16:14).
They thought that they would not go to hell because they thought they had done all the works of the law.
It is the right faith to use the material that the Lord has given to practice the Lord's love.
Earning and having a lot of wealth in the world is to use it for the Lord.
It is true faith to give it to the Lord when money is needed for the Lord's work.
An attitude of receiving a lot from the Lord but not using it for the Lord and only having a sense of superiority is destruction.
You cannot serve both God and money. In order to go to heaven, you must give up your desire for money and serve God as your master.
Those who serve both money and God can never go to heaven.
When God's people love money too much, it is recognized as a result of serving two masters.
Such people commit spiritual adultery against God.
We Christians should work hard, save, and earn a lot of money.
However, the purpose of earning money is different from that of worldly people.
We should use it to spread the kingdom of God.
Every time we use our wealth for the Lord, our rewards in heaven are accumulated and our houses in heaven are built.
The houses in heaven are so beautiful, magnificent, and bright.
God is examining our hearts and minds.
Everything is the grace of the Lord. We should not love the world and money, but humbly obey the will of the Lord.
We should humble ourselves, be thankful for the grace the Lord has given us, and live for the will of the Lord.
Material things are absolutely necessary to do God's work.
People in the world spend money to take care of their bodies and live long.
No matter how diligently you take care of your health, everyone dies in the end.
The maximum life span for a human is 120 years. You cannot live forever on this earth.
However, those who obey the will of the Lord will live forever in heaven.
