It is a curious thing - according to one study, we have
spent more money as Americans than any generation prior to us and yet, that
same study declares that we are also the most unhappy generation of Americans
thus far.
When the Bible speaks of
serving God or money, it seems to me that it is more than simply a call to
devotion. It is a call to
happiness. Or, as one pastor puts it,
“Whenever God says ‘don’t’, He means, ‘don’t hurt yourself’.”
Could it be that God drives His followers
away from a preoccupation of “stuff” not simply to purify their worship, but to
free them to live lives of joy?
