EDITOR’S NOTE: Lesson subjects and Scripture tests selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. By WILLIAM CULBERTSON, D. D. Os The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. AS BELIEVERS in Christ we are responsible not only for the way we earn our living, but for the way we spend what we earn. Os course we must earn our living honestly, but if we spend foolishly that which we have earned, we shall have dissipated much of the effect of our example in earning. Possessions are a trust 'rom God, and we shall have to render an account of our stewardship. Just because we have given a certain percentage of our income to Christian causes is no reason to think we shall meet with divine approbation with regard to our stewardship. If we give a tithe, well and good, but what about the other nine-tenths’ Is God pleased with our stewardship there? I. The Vanity of Wealth (Eccles. 5:10, 11). TN ANY study of wealth, it seems necessary to begin with an understanding of its limitations. We live in a world in which men frequently lay great importance on possessions, and indeed, there are many things which wealth can purchase. On the other hand, there are some things that money cannot buy. And further, we should recognize that our possessions are not eternal, that they may suddenly fade away. The passage here reminds us of the fact that wealth for wealth’s sake is bound to be a disappointment. The man who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, any more than the man who loves pleasure shall be satisfied with pleasure. Augustine was right when be said that man could be satisfied with no less than God himself. Notice how accurately the picture Is drawn. If we have increased wealth, we have increased responsibility (v. 11). That fact is as unalterable as the most rigid law we know. The only advantage is, as the Preacher expresses it, the beholding of goods with the eye—not a very great advantage after all. If. The Proper Accumulation of Wealth (Prov. 16:8). IT IS Just as true as when Solo- * mon wrote it, that “Better is a little, with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice.” This statement needs no argument, needs no proof. If we would have the honor of men, self-respect, arid the blessing of God, there is no alternative. 111. The Improper Accumulation of Wealth (James 5:1-6). 'T'HE apostle James speaks of a condition that will obtain in the last days (v. 3). There are many evidences that the condition he describes has had altogether too many fulfillments in recent history. James excoriates the rich who have defrauded their employees in order that they might fare sumptuously and live riotously. These unscrupulous rich have taken advantage because they were not resisted (v. 6). Such wealth is corrupted. Notice once again that the rerun of their sin will rise to break , them. It is a serious thing to f trifle with sin, to cat the bread off iniquity. God has no patience with i injustice in social relationships. I Sooner or later judgment will] come. . / IV. The Proper Use of Wealth (Prov. 11:24-27). / I T IBERALITY should J J ize the child of Go(j. It is true ! that the Bible condemns the /atti- I tude of imprudence, yet it also condemns the attitude the miseg. To withhold more thajh is meet, also tends to want. How blessedlytrue it is that there is a recompense tn giving. Here we read that the one who waters shall himself be watered. Our Lord affirmed the same truth in Luke 6d38. To have it within, our power to help, and fail to do/so, is to bring upon ourselves cqtisure and condemnation. Therefore, we should, seek to perform, the good (v. 27). ] This passage 'concludes with the ' statement that/ one who searches/ after evil shall find that evil will come to him. The man who sets his , heart to do wrong will not have t o wait long to find the occasion to / Jo that which fe in his heart. / Many are the injunctions in / the New Testament regarding the proper use of weafti. For exai f ipie, the Christian has a duty towa gi his own family (I Tim. 5:8). He Ab enjoined to be sympathetic ar generous in his giving to help , (others (II Cor. 8:8-15). Certainly tie is tc dispense his goods with thr g gj ory 01 God in view (cf. CcL 3: Released by Western Jtewsr
