Competition

Is money the greatest competitor to God?

A health-and- wealth style evangelical Protestant church wants money from members for support and growth following Biblical teachings about tithing.

A small business owner needs money to support himself and his family.

A Corporation aims at profitability to support its bottom line for shareholders and stockholders.

Government uses money from taxes to support necessary expenditures that protect its citizens.

An individual spends and saves money wisely to insure support for retirement and old age.

Does money, therefore, compete with God? Wasting time, talent and finances displeases God. So I think responsible co-existence between man and money offers the best assurance of winning the competition for Heaven with God.
