In the Bible, it is not wrong for us to own things but it is very wrong for things to own us. Oftentimes, in our cultural context, we compartmentalize the spiritual and the material in different spheres but in the biblical worldview, God demands our undivided devotion and affections. Money can be a touchy subject when we isolate this part of our life from our spiritual life. God reveals that, for him to be Lord, he must be Lord of all or not at all. We cannot serve God and money at the same time. When we don’t surrender our possessions to God, we end up surrendering our life to our possessions and in turn, they end up becoming our god.
