Money and God is the battle for ever. The Battle between material things and spiritual things. God calls us to be faithful with what God has blessed us with. Even when God killed Ananias and Sapphira it was not because they held back, but because they lied about what they gave (Acts 5). In that scripture God said it was theirs. We see in verse 13 there is a battle and you cannot worship money and God at the same time. Above the mighty dollar God must rule. This is seen in your willingness to give and tithe. To help the poor, and the work of missions. At the end of the chapter a rich person goes to hell and the poor person went to heaven. It was not for their wealth or the lack of money but it was because of what they worshiped.
Money is a hard topic. We can all use a little more; but we all can make do with a little less stuff.
