“For whoever is not against us is for us.” Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward.
This is very clear. Jesus said that you are either out or in. There is no in between. In Matthew 6:24 Jesus said,”No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.Webster’s dictionary defines “Mammon” or “Mann” as: 1) the false god of riches and avarice. 2) riches regarded as an object of worship and greedy pursuit; wealth as an evil, more or less personified.[1]
Winston defines it to mean: 1) wealth, worldly gain; 2) greed for riches; cupidity.[2] Oxford defines: god of wealth, regarded as evil or immoral; ‘those who worship mammon’ are equivalent to greedy people who value money too highly.[3]In other words having money is not bad.
When you begin to love money, material possessions, fame, popularity, authority, etc,etc, that is when things really go bad!
Focus on Jesus and everything will be fine. He will take care of you!
May the blessing of the Lord be with all God’s people.
