Two Masters
by Keith Brenton
Money is getting tight, and most of us find ourselves getting tighter with it. In this summary to the perplexing tale of the shrewd financial planner, Jesus explains that trust is the key to interpreting it:
"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own?
"No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." ~ Luke 16:10-13
In which do we put our trust?
