Are you a wise or foolish person? Meaning, is your life characterized by contentment, courage, and confidence? Or is it full of conflict, consternation, and disappointments?

 

Dr. Stanley examines God’s challenge to walk wisely as expressed in Ephesians 5:15-17. He describes the characteristics of wisdom, explains the difference between it and knowledge, and shares how God’s offer of salvation is the ultimate example of wisdom—and that we are wisest when we accept it.

 

The world has its idea of wisdom as well, and it differs greatly from God’s. It is often earthly, natural, and at times demonic. This leaves us with two choices. We can live the world’s way, or God’s way. Which one will you choose?

Our obedience in money matters brings glory to God. As we put the resources God has given us to work, we can rest assured that we will find true satisfaction in Him. Remember that God gave us money to accomplish His work, to meet life’s basic needs, to care for others, and for our enjoyment. Only when we have a firm grasp on God’s perspective on money can we become faithful stewards. Ultimately, it’s not up to us to decide how our money is spent. We must trust God with all that He has entrusted to us.

God offers true riches in spiritual growth and biblical truth, yet He only rewards those who rightly use what He has entrusted to them. Failure to be faithful with God’s money will deprive us of even greater riches. The love of money replaces our love for God in our hearts. And all too easily, we can dismiss His words and teachings about money to justify our ungodly behavior. But by heeding God’s warnings and seeking Him above all else, we can become faithful money managers.

Fear is the primary reason we avoid taking control of our finances. But getting control of our finances leads to a greater sense of freedom and peace. When we act unwisely with the money God has given us, we are surrendering our liberty to our creditors. The key to financial freedom is to trust God with our finances and surrender what we have to Him—whether that’s a little or a lot.

About Dr. Charles Stanley

Dr. Charles Stanley

September 25, 1932 – April 18, 2023

Dr. Charles F. Stanley was the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta for more than fifty years. He was also the founder of In Touch Ministries and a New York Times best-selling author, who wrote more than seventy books encouraging people to seek Jesus as their Savior and know Him as their wise and loving Lord. 

Known to audiences around the world through his wide-reaching TV and radio broadcasts, Stanley modeled his 65 years of ministry after the apostle Paul’s message in Acts 20:24: “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God’s mighty kindness and love.”
