Money and the Kingdom of God

Conventional wisdom holds that money and religion are mutually exclusive: there's the popular maxim about money being the "root of all evil" and Jesus' admonitions about the difficulty of serving both God and Mammon or a rich man entering heaven. But Maurice Fetty notes that in Jesus' view, money and the kingdom of God are intertwined. He stresses the importance of good stewardship of God's creation, and points out that what we do with our money is indelibly linked with faithful living.
