Having some money in retirement is nice
real nice.
I once thought like this presumably young man, just guessing. You hear a lot of teaching about wealth and money in the church, most of it negative if you keep it. However I learned that some of the men we consider giants of faith, some in what is sometimes referred to the chapter of heros in Hebrews had great wealth and also hearts given to God. That is the differential. Where is your heart? The story of the stewards teaches us that we should multiply what God provides us, be that wealth or intelligence or whatever talent we have. Then think occasionally, if you do gain even a small amount of wealth, it is all relative anyway, does it control me or does God control me and what do I use it for and do I generously and without concern help those around me who have need when I can. Then you can stay on track.
