Description
Christian stewardship, as commonly taught today, tells us that part of wise financial management is to deposit money regularly into savings and allow it to accumulate. The doctrine of nonaccupmulation, on the other hand, states that Jesus forbids His followers to accumulate wealth on earth and commands them to distribute to others that which they do not currently need. Which of these teachings is correct? How important is it that we know? What is at stake if we answer these questions wrongly?
Jesus told us, ““It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” And again, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.”
Many Christians who take Jesus’ commandments very seriously on nonresistance and divorce shrug off His teachings on laying up treasures on earth. In this challenging book, Hertzler challenges all of us to take Jesus’ teachings on wealth seriously. As you read, you may be surprised at how dogmatically Jesus set forth a doctrine many choose to ignore.
