COMMERCE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Money is not a thing. We’d like to think our exchanges take place in a purely “material” sense, when really, our gifts, purchases, and financial plans are made long before the commercial exchange takes place in the world of matter. The exchange occurs first within the heart. All that Jesus taught and practiced was aimed at getting people to shape the heart first, knowing that the person’s outer actions would follow. Make no mistake about it. What we spend our money on matters, but the spending of our money is always preceded by the priorities of our heart. In this series we’ll explore the ways we can shape our views of the material, by first, shaping the heart.
