 A great reason for devoting all our belongings to appropriate use is because they are capable of being used for most excellent purpose and can be a great means of doing good. If we waste it , we do not just waste what appears to be a little bit, but we waste that which might be made as eyes to the blind , as a husband to the widow, and as a father to the orphan. We waste that which not only enables us to minister worldly comforts to those who are in distress, but that which might purchase for ourselves everlasting treasures in heaven. What we spend on our impulses and worldliness is gone forever, but that which we spend to help others lasts forever. Consider how much money Christians spend on worldly entertainment such as sports , movies and concerts. Consider how much money Christians waste on clothing , cars , and much more. If Christians were to spend that money in buying evangelistic books for the unsaved or in helping the poor, think how much eternal good could be done for others that we now waste on our own pleasures.


If there is nothing so glorious as doing good, if in this we imitate Christ, then nothing can be so glorious in the use of our money as to use it all in works of love and goodness, making ourselves friends and fathers and benefactors to all our fellow human beings , imitating the divine love and turning all our power into acts of generosity , care, and kindness to those who are in need of it.
