The Will Of God Or the Will Of Money

In our nation today and in almost every way money determines what is right and what is wrong. Rarely does the making of money ever find itself precluded for reasons based on principle. There are of course laws that prohibit acquiring money such as extortion, selling drugs, prostition etc. but are there any uncoerced ethics or principles that we refuse to violate if money is to be made?
You will always find a way around it won't you. The truth is the will of money has superceded any principle or noble purpose that once used to hold sway in our nation.
Money has gotten it's way. It has determined what we will do and will not do. This is the will of money.

God has a will too. Christians often talk of desiring the will of God, to know the will of God, seeking His will and acting upon it. There is a reason why God said you cannot serve both God and money. Above all other things money is the one that competes with God more than any other. Money has a will. It has a will that will try to determine what you do inorder to get more of it, get closer to it. The will of money or the will of God? There is no middle ground. Do we realize that? Money will try to get you to compromise everything it can until finally your eyes glaze over with disgust anytime someone mentions the all so obvious scriptures in the bible criticizing the pursuit of money.

Look at the rise of gambling casino's and the position of the religious right in this country. There was "some" resistance at first but when the religious right realized there was money to be made, money for businesses, money for contractors, tax money for government coffers instead of the religious right's own money, the resistence to casinos melted away. What you get is a corrupt money generator for all and so this is where we are today, living more and more under the will of money.

Imagine the leadership of this country stepping up and saying "i don't care if money is going to be made we are just not going to do this". Can we say that again? Do we have the inner constitution and fortitude to stand up and say this? Don't we have the confidence of God to know that if we do the right things God will honor it. Have we forgotten that when we keep the will of God blessings will come to us many times and from directions we didn't even realize would respond. We have forgotten when so many today have made the making of money under almost any conditions honorable. We now resist the principles that might have made us resist making money for certain reasons in a more honorable past but now it is considered tough, honorable and manly to acquire money in anyway possible. They resist the clear scriptures that admonish about money as they double down and do it anyway.

It takes true faith and confidence in God to resist unethical and corrupt means of making money. If we are faking our faith then what is going on in this country makes sense but if we really mean what we promise to God then far too much makes no sense at all.
So why don't we cling to God's principles like we cling to life. Since when will He not reward us anymore. Has something changed?
I'll ask it again. Has something changed?

Money is not the answer. God is the answer.
