Podcasts about Mammon

Brother Chris speaks about God versus mammon.

1 And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods.Dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos : Homo quidam erat dives, qui habebat villicum : et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius. 2 And he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.Et vocavit illum, et ait illi : Quid hoc audio de te? redde rationem villicationis tuae : jam enim non poteris villicare. 3 And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.Ait autem villicus intra se : Quid faciam? quia dominus meus aufert a me villicationem. Fodere non valeo, mendicare erubesco. 4 I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas. 5 Therefore calling together every one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo : Quantum debes domino meo? 6 But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly, and write fifty.At ille dixit : Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi : Accipe cautionem tuam : et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta. 7 Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write eighty.Deinde alii dixit : Tu vero quantum debes? Qui ait : Centum coros tritici. Ait illi : Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta. 8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light.Et laudavit dominus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset : quia filii hujus saeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt. 9 And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.Et ego vobis dico : facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis : ut, cum defeceritis, recipiant vos in aeterna tabernacula.[9] "They may receive": By this we see, that the poor servants of God, whom we have relieved by our alms, may hereafter, by their intercession, bring our souls to heaven.Luke 16:1–9, the Parable of the Unjust Steward, is one of the most challenging passages in the Gospels. At first glance, it almost sounds as if Jesus is praising dishonesty—but that's not what He is doing.The story is this:A steward is accused of wasting his master's goods.He is told he is about to lose his position.Knowing he will soon be unemployed, he reduces the debts of his master's debtors.His master commends him for acting shrewdly, not for cheating.The key is that the master praises the steward's prudence and foresight, not his dishonesty.What is Jesus teaching?Jesus immediately gives the interpretation:"The children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light."In other words, worldly people often put enormous energy into preparing for a temporary future—careers, investments, possessions. Christians should be at least as diligent in preparing for eternal life."Make friends by means of the mammon of iniquity"This is probably the most puzzling verse."Mammon" means wealth or possessions. Jesus is not saying that money is evil in itself. Rather, earthly wealth belongs to this passing world and can easily become an occasion of sin.His point is:Use your earthly possessions in such a way that they help you attain heaven.How?Give alms.Care for the poor.Support the Church.Practice generosity.Then, when earthly wealth is gone, its fruits remain.

Mammon, Money or More by Bishop Joaquin G. Molina

The man who invented solid rocket fuel and helped found the Jet Propulsion Laboratory spent his nights performing sex rituals in a Pasadena mansion with a struggling science fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard, trying to incarnate a goddess who would give birth to the Antichrist.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/RocketMagicREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/9enkrtn5FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The creator of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, was so fascinated by the occult, he believed he was the actual devil himself… and was even upset when his own son turned out to not be the antichrist. (The Devil L. Ron Hubbard) *** Scientology is already scary and mysterious – which may not be surprising once you learn how much black magic had to do with its creation.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2019Weird Darkness moves through black magic, hauntings, demonology, unsolved death, and government secrecy in this episode, running from the occult roots of Scientology to a Utah military base that has earned the nickname Area 52.It opens with L. Ron Hubbard, the science fiction novelist who founded Scientology, and the claim from his own eldest son — Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, Jr., who left the church in 1959 and renamed himself Ronald DeWolf — that black magic sat at the inner core of the religion. In a 1983 Penthouse interview, DeWolf described a father deeply involved in the occult who did not worship Satan so much as believe he was Satan, the Beast 666 incarnate. The story runs through Hubbard's obsession with Aleister Crowley and the Ordo Templi Orientis, the "moonchild" ritual he and rocket scientist Jack Parsons attempted in Pasadena to conceive an astral child and bring the goddess Babalon into the world, the poltergeist activity that followed at the Parsons house, the alleged OT Level VIII passage in which Hubbard claimed the Antichrist mantle for himself, the numerology hidden in the New Era logo's two sixty-degree triangles, and the shared contempt both Hubbard and Crowley held for psychoanalysis even as both leaned on hypnosis and past-life regression to control their followers.From there the episode digs into Jack Parsons himself — the college-dropout chemist who invented solid rocket fuel, helped found the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and claimed to have summoned Satan at thirteen. Drawing on John Carter's Sex and Rockets: The Occult World of Jack Parsons and Lawrence Wright's Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief, the story follows Parsons through the Pasadena mansion he filled with pagans, artists, and writers; the bonfires that drew police reports from the neighbors; the arrival of Hubbard, who slept with Parsons' girlfriend Betty; the red-headed artist Marjorie Cameron, whom both men decided was Babalon made flesh; Crowley's own disgust at the pair, whom he dismissed as goats in a letter; and the boat-buying scheme in Florida that cost Parsons his last twenty thousand dollars. Parsons died in 1952 handling explosives on his front porch, two years after Dianetics made Hubbard famous.Next comes the Surrency haunting, one of the most heavily witnessed poltergeist cases on record. In October of 1872, sawmill operator Allen Surrency returned to his two-story farmhouse on the edge of the Altamaha River Swamp in Georgia to find tumblers sliding off the slab, crockery shattering on the floor, and bricks, irons, and potatoes falling through the rooms of his own house. The activity never let up: clocks spinning backward, mirrors exploding, utensils bending in the family's hands, a pan of biscuits levitating out of the oven and flying out the back door, hot bricks raining down on his daughter Clementine, an andiron chasing his son across the room and then returning itself to the fireplace. Hundreds of visitors — reporters and a minister among them — watched objects fly in plain view. The haunting followed the family when they moved away, stopped abruptly with Allen's death in 1877, and the house burned down in 1925, leaving nothing behind but the orb of light still reported along the town's railway tracks.The episode then turns to Peter Binsfeld, the sixteenth-century German witch hunter whose enthusiasm for torture was matched by his taste for taxonomy. His De confessionibus maleficorum et sagarum laid out the Seven Princes of Hell — Lucifer for pride, Beelzebub for gluttony, Satan for wrath, Belphegor for sloth, Mammon for greed, Asmodeus for lust, and Leviathan for envy — and argued that each living person is shadowed by a personal demon who knows their habits intimately, the dark counterpart to a guardian angel. Binsfeld held that women were more prone to witchcraft, that girls under twelve and boys under fourteen were usually too young to be guilty, and that anyone who claimed to have seen a witch shapeshift had been deceived by the Devil.The unsolved death of British ufologist Max Spiers follows. Spiers died in Poland on July 16, 2016, days before a scheduled conspiracy conference appearance and shortly after reportedly vomiting two liters of black liquid, having texted his mother that he was in trouble and to investigate if anything happened to him. His death was ruled natural causes. At a pre-inquest review at Guildhall in Sandwich, Kent, in August of 2018, lawyers for his mother Vanessa Bates revealed that his laptop had been wiped clean and his phone's SIM card erased or removed before being returned to the family, with Spiers found dead on the couch of his girlfriend Monika Duval and the four-day inquest set for the Archbishops Palace in Maidstone.The episode closes at Dugway Proving Ground, the 800,000-acre Utah military installation that UFO researchers call Area 52. Founded during the second World War for biological and chemical weapons work, Dugway is best known for the 1968 VX nerve agent test that drifted into Skull Valley and killed thousands of sheep, an incident the Army compensated farmers for without accepting blame. Freedom of Information requests filed by MuckRock founder Michael Morisy surfaced records of entomological munitions — mosquitoes loaded with what the Army called inert pathogens and released over American civilian populations — and of soldiers used as test subjects. The story takes in the 2011 disappearance of Joseph Bushling, whose empty car, hat, and shoes turned up sixty-five miles from the main gate with no body ever found; the runway in the base's southern expansion that never appears on Dugway's own maps; Lockheed engineer Don Phillips and former CEO Ben Rich on flying saucer technology; and Steven Greer's claim in The Sirius Project that trillions in defense funding has been siphoned into a shadow government beyond the reach of the Department of Defense.

Unmasking The Worship of Mammon by Bishop Joaquin G. Molina

Deine Grundprogrammierungen entscheiden alles. Du hast vom Verstand her so viele Chancen, aber deine Grundprogrammierungen sind unglaublich mächtig. Man sagt: 96 % Grundprogrammierung und 4 % Verstand. Vom Verstand her magst du sehr viel wollen, aber deine Grundprogrammierungen sind letztendlich die Kräfte, die dich permanent antreiben, positiv oder negativ. Ist Geld gut oder schlecht? Geld ist per se völlig neutral. Entscheidend ist deine Grundprogrammierung. Was hast du von deinen Eltern oder deinem Umfeld mitbekommen? Haben sie gesagt: „Geld ist schlecht", „Schnöder Mammon" oder „Man muss hart arbeiten"? Wenn deine Programmierung negativ ist, wirst du immer einen Konflikt mit Geld verdienen haben. Hast du dagegen eine positive Grundprogrammierung, wird sich das entsprechend auswirken. Genau das gilt es zu verstehen. Wer wirklich etwas verändern möchte, muss an die Grundprogrammierungen herangehen. Viele schreiben ihre Wünsche, Ziele und Visionen auf. Das ist gut, aber es bleibt oberflächlich. Was nützen dir große Ziele, wenn dein Unterbewusstsein permanent das Sabotageprogramm laufen lässt? Du erkennst es an Sätzen wie: „Egal, was ich mache, ich habe immer nur Pech." Oder: „Jetzt hatte ich endlich etwas Geld und schon ist es wieder weg." Hier müssen wir an die DNA der Grundprogrammierung herangehen. Du kannst noch so viele Vision Boards erstellen oder jeden Tag deine Ziele aufschreiben. Solange du deine Grundprogrammierung nicht kennst, wird sie dich immer wieder ausbremsen. Das ist der entscheidende Faktor. Du musst erkennen, was dich jeden Tag sabotiert oder du veränderst es. Ja, wir können Grundprogrammierungen verändern. Aber das ist kein leichter Weg. Es ist ein intensiver Prozess. Viele sagen: „Du musst einfach meditieren." Oder: „Sprich jeden Tag Affirmationen." „Ich möchte glücklich und gesund sein." „Ich möchte reich sein." Doch wenn das nicht in dir programmiert ist, funktioniert es nicht. Du kannst dir auch wünschen, einen liebevollen Partner oder eine liebevolle Partnerin zu finden. Wenn deine Programmierung jedoch nicht auf Liebe, auch auf Selbstliebe ausgerichtet ist, wird es schwierig. Darum heißt es: Liebe zuerst dich selbst. Dann kannst du deinen Nächsten lieben. Liebst du dich wirklich? Wenn du in den Spiegel schaust, sagst du: „Wow, was für ein toller Mensch." Oder hörst du innerlich: „Da stimmt etwas nicht." „Ich bin zu blöd." „Ich mache immer dieselben Fehler." Das ist Selbstvernichtung. Dann wunderst du dich über dein Leben? Diese Programmierungen stammen häufig aus der Kindheit. Wie oft hören Kinder: „Du bist zu blöd." „Du kannst das nicht." Ich selbst musste mir von einem Lehrer anhören: „Du bist zu dumm, einen Bleistift richtig in der Hand zu halten." Kommen dann noch negative Partnerschaften oder andere Menschen dazu, entsteht ein Teufelskreis. Irgendwann glaubst du diese Sätze selbst. „Ich habe immer Pech." „Ich habe keine Chance." Bitte gib niemals auf. Bleib dran. Gib immer dein Bestes. Wenn du möchtest, begleite ich dich gerne im VIP-Coaching.

11. Woche im Jahreskreis von 15. bis 20. Juni 2025 radio klassik Stephansdom hat für den „Impuls für den Tag“ bei Theologin Franziska Libisch-Lehner und Pfarrer Richard Geier nachgefragt, was die Bibeltexte dieser Woche für unser tägliches Leben bedeuten können. Franziska Libisch-Lehner ist Redakteurin der katholischen Presseagentur Kathpress. Sie hat Fachtheologie, Religionspädagogik und Journalismus studiert. Nach Stationen bei radio klassik Stephansdom und Print-Medien, arbeitet sie heute „im Hintergrund“ des Mediengeschehens zu den Themen Kirche, Soziales, Frauen und Ethik. Samstag, 21.6.2025 Ihr könnt nicht gott und dem Mammon dienen. Mt 6, 24-34

Im Podcast "Blick in die Bibel" spricht Stephan Baur von DOMRADIO.DE am Samstag mit Kaplan Sebastian Appolt über dessen Priesterweihe, seine Zeit in München und darüber, was ihm heute besonders wichtig ist. Sie beschäftigen sich auch mit dem Tagesevangelium: Jesus sagt, dass die Menschen sich nicht von den Sorgen beherrschen lassen sollten. BDKJ-Präses Appolt erklärt, dass es nicht darum gehe, naiv zu sein oder nicht an morgen zu denken. Doch die persönlichen Sorgen dürfen nicht den Blick verstellen. Wichtiger sei, schon heute nach Gottes Reich und Gerechtigkeit zu suchen – also konkret etwas für Frieden, Gerechtigkeit und ein gutes Miteinander zu tun. Besonders bei Jugendlichen sieht Appolt kleine prophetische Ansätze, die zeigen, dass Veränderung schon im Hier und Jetzt beginnen kann. Eine Folge, die zeigt, warum die Bibel mitten ins Leben spricht.Aus dem Matthäusevangelium:In jener Zeit sprach Jesus zu seinen Jüngern: Niemand kann zwei Herren dienen; er wird entweder den einen hassen und den andern lieben oder er wird zu dem einen halten und den andern verachten. Ihr könnt nicht Gott dienen und dem Mammon. Deswegen sage ich euch: Sorgt euch nicht um euer Leben, was ihr essen oder trinken sollt, noch um euren Leib, was ihr anziehen sollt! Ist nicht das Leben mehr als die Nahrung und der Leib mehr als die Kleidung? Seht euch die Vögel des Himmels an: Sie säen nicht, sie ernten nicht und sammeln keine Vorräte in Scheunen; euer himmlischer Vater ernährt sie. Seid ihr nicht viel mehr wert als sie? Wer von euch kann mit all seiner Sorge sein Leben auch nur um eine kleine Spanne verlängern? Und was sorgt ihr euch um eure Kleidung? Lernt von den Lilien des Feldes, wie sie wachsen: Sie arbeiten nicht und spinnen nicht. Doch ich sage euch: Selbst Sálomo war in all seiner Pracht nicht gekleidet wie eine von ihnen. Wenn aber Gott schon das Gras so kleidet, das heute auf dem Feld steht und morgen in den Ofen geworfen wird, wie viel mehr dann euch, ihr Kleingläubigen! Macht euch also keine Sorgen und fragt nicht: Was sollen wir essen? Was sollen wir trinken? Was sollen wir anziehen? Denn nach alldem streben die Heiden. Euer himmlischer Vater weiß, dass ihr das alles braucht. Sucht aber zuerst sein Reich und seine Gerechtigkeit; dann wird euch alles andere dazugegeben. Sorgt euch also nicht um morgen; denn der morgige Tag wird für sich selbst sorgen. Jeder Tag hat genug an seiner eigenen Plage. (Mt 6,24-34)(© Ständige Kommission für die Herausgabe der gemeinsamen liturgischen Bücher im deutschen Sprachgebiet)

In this final installment of our series, "For What It's Worth," Pastor Ernest Almond delivers a powerful, conviction-heavy message on what it truly means to pledge your allegiance to the Kingdom of God. Diving deep into Luke 16:10-15 and Matthew 4:1-11, this sermon exposes "Mammon" not just as money, but as an entire spiritual system designed to trade your eternal assignment for temporary comfort, convenience, and consumption From the dense fast-food corridors of our local neighborhoods to the subtle compromises we make in our weekly schedules, we are constantly being pressured to bow to the god of comfort. But true righteousness requires a line in the sand. If an investigator looked at your calendar, your bank statements, and your screen time from this past week, who would they conclude you are serving? It's time to move past lukewarm commitment, break the addiction to a "soft life," and anchor your covenant obedience to the One who already paid your ultimate debt!

This Sunday, Pastor Sam kicks off a new stewardship series beginning in Mark 12:41–44 with the story of The Widow's Offering.In a world where value is often measured by size, status, and visibility, Jesus pauses to notice something everyone else overlooked.

Chosen One: Use THIS Weapon To Destroy Mammon Sir Byron Rodgers reflects on how the spirit of mammon often works through fear, anxiety, pride, self-reliance, and the constant temptation to trust what we see more than what God has spoken. The battle is rarely just about money—it is about what rules the heart. Faith requires surrender. Not surrender to emotion, pressure, or fear, but surrender to God even when circumstances look uncertain. Many of the greatest battles believers face cannot be overcome through human wisdom alone. They require obedience, repentance, discipline, and faith strong enough to move forward while pressure still exists. And when people fall, fail, or lose focus, grace still calls them back into alignment. Repentance is not weakness—it is returning to the source of life, truth, and authority. “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.” — 2 Corinthians 10:3 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I, Rachel Wortman, continue our month-long series on spiritual intelligence in business. We delve into the concept of viewing our business practices through a spiritual lens, emphasizing the importance of spiritual intelligence alongside other forms of intelligence such as financial, relational, and emotional intelligence. I begin by defining spiritual intelligence as being anchored in the Word of God, which involves memorizing scripture and having personal experiences with God that align with biblical teachings. I stress that while experiences with God are valuable, they should never supersede the truth found in scripture. Understanding how God's world operates is crucial for making decisions that align with His will. NEXT STEPS: Not ready to say goodbye?

During a recruiting pitch, Young even pulled out his phone, called NBA superstar Kevin Durant—whom he coached in Phoenix—and handed the phone directly to Dybantsa. Young is explicitly selling recruits on his ability to get them to the NBA, cementing college sports as a professional stepping stone. Cautionary Tale of Jimmer Fredette Matt contrasts this new era of “one-and-done” recruits with the legacy of Jimmer Fredette. Bowman describes Fredette as a player built for the traditional amateur college game who was unfairly pushed into the modern “massive media industrial complex” that demands individual celebrity. Unlike Danny Ainge, who thrived by fitting into a cooperative team system and sharing the ball, Fredette was forced to carry the entire team on his back. This intense pressure to be a singular, massive celebrity ultimately did him a disservice when he reached the NBA, making him a cautionary tale of how modern sports media can chew players up. God vs. Mammon on the Hardwood: Is this massive influx of money compatible with BYU’s mission? Bowman argues there is no easy answer. On one hand, church leaders like Henry Eyring have previously expressed that a successful football team acts as a powerful missionary tool. On the other hand, the millions of dollars involved shift the focus away from the character-building, cooperative origins of the sport. Today, the game is increasingly about individual stardom and financial gain, causing significant tension with the university’s spiritual goals. Will BYU Ever Drop Athletics? Given this tension, a popular rumor suggests that future church leaders might eventually eliminate BYU’s sports programs entirely, mirroring the decision made years ago to drop athletics at Ricks College (now BYU-Idaho). However, Bowman believes this is highly unlikely. The financial momentum of BYU athletics is simply too powerful to stop. Between Big 12 television money and the sheer influence of massive donor groups—BYU’s NIL collective, the “Royal Blue,” is reportedly the second-largest in the country behind Kentucky—eliminating the sports programs would result in intense backlash from wealthy boosters.

Pastor Raven Howard brought the word this week. There is a complex relationship between faith and finance through the lens of Luke 16, challenging listeners to reconsider whether they are using their money as a tool for the Kingdom or if "Mammon"—a spiritual force behind wealth—is actually using them. The message serves as a provocative "bank account theology" check, urging the congregation to shrewdly convert temporary worldly resources into eternal relationships with the poor and marginalized.

Most believers think they love God more than money. Landon Schott was one of them — until God said four words that dropped the floor out from under him: "You serve mammon." In this episode, Landon breaks down the spirit of Mammon — what it actually is, how it operates, and why even mature, ministry-seasoned believers get trapped by it without knowing. This isn't a lesson on budgeting. It's a spiritual warfare teaching on the invisible force that turns money into a god. In this episode: • What Mammon actually is — and why translating it as just "money" misses the point • The vision God gave Landon about the scales — miracles vs. money on the same altar • Why the rich young ruler said no to Jesus — and how most believers do the same thing weekly • How the Antichrist will use economy to damn people to hell • 5 signs Mammon controls your life (including one that hits hard for ministry leaders) • Why you should never pray for money — ever • 5 practical ways to break free from the spirit of Mammon • The difference between faith for abundance and Mammon You can love God and still serve Mammon. The question is: which one do you obey when it costs you something?

Give an account of your management, because you can no longer be manager.' 3 “The manager said to himself, ‘What will I do, since my master is taking away the management position from me? I am not strong enough to dig. I am ashamed to beg. 4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from my position as manager, people will receive me into their houses.' 5 “He called each one of his master's debtors to him. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?' 6 He said, ‘Six hundred gallons [1] of olive oil.' He said to him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write three hundred.' 7 Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?' And he said, ‘Six hundred bushels [2] of wheat.' He said to him, ‘Take your bill and write four hundred and eighty.' 8 “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the children [3] of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation [4] than the children of the light are. 9 I tell you, make friends for yourselves with unrighteous mammon, [5] so that when it runs out, they will welcome you into the eternal dwellings. 10 The person who is faithful with very little is also faithful with much. And the person who is unrighteous with very little is also unrighteous with much. 11 So if you have not been faithful with unrighteous mammon, who will entrust you with what is really valuable? 12 If you have not been faithful with what belongs to someone else, who will give you something to be your own? 13 No servant can serve two masters. Indeed, either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and mammon.” 14 The Pharisees, who loved money, also heard all these things and sneered at him. 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the sight of people, but God knows your hearts. In fact, what is highly regarded among people is an abomination in God's sight. 16 The Law and the Prophets were until John. Since that time the good news of the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone is trying to force his way into it. [6] 17 “It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for even one part of a letter in the Law to fail. 18 Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another is committing adultery, and the man who marries a woman divorced from her husband is committing adultery. The Rich Man and Poor Lazarus 19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day. 20 A beggar named Lazarus had been laid at his gate. Lazarus was covered with sores and 21 longed to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Besides this, the dogs also came and licked his sores. 22 Eventually the beggar died, and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In hell, [7] where he was in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus at his side. 24 He called out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me! Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in misery in this flame.' 25 “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, and you are in misery. 26 Besides all this, a great chasm has been set in place between us and you, so that those who want to cross from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' 27 “He said, ‘Then I beg you, father, send him to my father's home, 28 because I have five brothers—to warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' 29 “Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets. Let them listen to them.' 30 “‘No, father Abraham,' he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' 31 “Abraham replied to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'” Footnotes Luke 16:6 Or one hundred baths.

Roger Morris teaches Part 1 of "The Heart of Stewardship," correcting the phrase that "money is the root of all evil" by emphasizing it is the love of money, and urging you to use money as a kingdom tool rather than serving the spirit of mammon. Using Luke 16:1–15, he highlights Jesus' warning that you can't serve both God and mammon, and that faithfulness with "least" things—financial stewardship, giving, and managing what belongs to another—prepares you for true riches. He challenges fear of losing money and the habit of evaluating God's direction by what's in your wallet or bank account, teaching that prosperity aligns with God's plans and is meant to help others.    EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Love of Money Clarified 00:30 Welcome and Purpose 01:35 Where to Watch and Subscribe 04:03 Why Stewardship Matters 05:40 Mammon and Money Talk 06:35 Luke 16 Parable Read 09:36 Faithful With Little 12:34 Prosperity Mindset Shift 17:33 Kingdom Prosperity Purpose 19:26 Meddling on Fear and Vision 23:00 Finances as Least Test 25:30 Salvation Invitation 26:52 Ministry Resources and Closing   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

Mammon and the Messiah (Zechariah 5:5-6:15) | 032226 by One Ancient Hope Presbyterian Church

Are you trading your long-term peace and eternal future for a short-term pleasure? Discover how one small choice can lead to life's biggest regrets and how you can reclaim your spiritual inheritance today. In this powerful message, Elliott Warren explores the life-altering story of Jacob and Esau to answer a critical question: What are you willing to give up for a "single meal"?. While many focus on building wealth or satisfying immediate desires, this sermon reveals the hidden spiritual costs of living for "the flesh" over "the spirit". Through the warning in Hebrews 12 and the modern cautionary tale of Charles Templeton, you will learn how to identify the subtle ways the "spirit of Mammon" and worldly distractions can lead you off course. This message offers a wake-up call to anyone who feels like they've been living "halfway in and halfway out," providing the hope and steps needed to prioritize eternal things before it's too late. 0:00 – Welcome and Prayer for Our Nation  2:20 – Overcoming the Spirit of Mammon and Financial Deception  6:07 – The Life of Jacob: Seeking God's Blessing  7:51 – Genesis 25: Why Esau Sold His Birthright for a Single Meal  11:00 – Flesh vs. Spirit: Understanding the Difference Between Edom and Israel  17:00 – The Solemn Warning in Hebrews 12 for Every Believer  20:41 – The Stupidity of Sin: Sacrificing the Spiritual for the Natural  43:59 – A Modern Warning: The Story of Charles Templeton  58:43 – Is It Ever Too Late?

Christians very quickly say that they serve one God. But, we are challenged in the Scriptures to assess our hearts, because it's possible that we have another god which is elevated above the one true God. That god has a name in the Bible, and it's MAMMON.

Matthew 6:19-24 The Revolution Jesus is leading us into has to work its way into our systems of valuing - exposing what we treasure. Jesus presses this issue because He is fully aware of the duality resulting from trying to live in both Kingdoms - of Mammon and of God - at the same time. The result will be crippling anxiety and paralyzing worry. So… His solution is to choose relentless focus on the Kingdom of God and to let that choice inform our attitudes and behaviors around money, time, and other measures of value. By Bill Dogterom

We open the Bible to Matthew 6 and 2 Corinthians 9 and let them expose the real fight behind our finances: trust in the Father or trust in fear. We challenge mammon as a rival master, then pray for courage, repentance, and open-handed obedience that makes room for God's provision and purpose. • Abundance as a blessing meant to bless others • Priorities in the kingdom shaping every dollar • Stewardship mindset that refuses self-made pride • Treasure as a heart indicator and a practical audit • Serving God versus serving mammon as a real tension • Sowing and reaping as worship rather than pressure • Planned generosity instead of accidental generosity • Provision posture purpose as the order of kingdom giving • Cheerful giving that offers God our best • Jewish covenant lens in Matthew 6 and the shock of deifying mammon • Roman patronage culture and the temptation to give for credit • Kingdom versus mammon as two systems of security • Repentance as the fastest way back to trust • Dismantling stored security and self-protection agreements • Faith that works and refuses laziness 

Leo Bigger: Wem gehört dein Herz? Geld oder Gottes Vertrauen Das Thema «Mammon oder Gott?» von Leo Bigger ist Teil der Predigtserie «Gesegnet wie niemals zuvor» In dieser Predigt spricht Leo Bigger klar und herausfordernd über die Wahl zwischen Mammon und Gott. Er fordert dich auf, ehrlich zu sein: Wer regiert dein Herz—Geld, Besitz und Status oder Gottes Liebe und Vertrauen (vgl. Matthäus 6,24)? Leo zeigt, wie subtile Sorgen und Konsum dich fesseln können wie unsichtbare Ketten, und bietet praktische Schritte: Budget prüfen, Zeit für Gebet und Dankbarkeit einplanen, Besitz teilen. Er erinnert dich daran, dass echte Freiheit weniger mit mehr zu tun hat, sondern mit einem Herzen, das Gott vertraut. Stell dir die Frage: Wovon erwartest du dein Leben? Lass dein Herz neu ausrichten, handle konkret diese Woche und erlebe, wie Vertrauen Wunder freisetzen kann.

In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti kicks off the Money Myths series with a powerful teaching from Matthew 6:19–34. Jesus doesn't treat money like a neutral tool. He exposes it as a rival master that competes for your devotion.You'll learn what Jesus meant by “You cannot serve God and mammon,” why your treasure is tethered to your heart, and how worry reveals a divided soul. God calls us to stop placing our certainty in a bank balance and start leaning fully on the Lord.If you've been battling financial anxiety, a scarcity mindset, or the feeling that “more money will finally make me secure,” this sermon will remind you that God is not only a Master worth serving - He is a loving Father who knows your needs and promises to provide.

In keeping with the season, I offer a little political anecdote about Christmas.More specifically, it's about the moral teachings of the biblical Jesus, which formed the ethical foundation of Christmas and gives Christianity itself its true gravity.The story is about a political clash some 60 years ago in Houston, when a boorish right-winger accosted the feisty mother of a renowned progressive populist lawmaker, US Rep. Bob Eckhardt. Bob, whom I later got to know and learn from, was a fierce battler for racial equality in a time when not all Texans were singing in Kumbaya harmony.Sure enough, at a public forum where Bob's mom was representing him, this bonehead loudly demanded to know why her son was trying to make “them [Black people] equal to whites.” Ms. Eckhardt cut off the fellow's ugly diatribe by, of all things, offering an apology! Her son's advocacy, she said, was not his fault, but hers: “You see, I raised him to be a Christian.”Today, however, Mother Eckhardt's put down might lack the clarity it had back then. This is a strange Christmas – concluding a year in which far right extremists have relentlessly perverted the profound and love-based Christianity of Jesus into a partisan ethic promising brutish rule. As we've seen, their “beatitudes” include repression of the poor, worship of Mammon, turning away strangers, hatred of thy neighbor… and so awful much more that rejects the values of Jesus – all in the name of establishing something they call “Christian Nationalism.”This is Jim Hightower saying… God bless America. And please hurry! But remember, God helps those who help themselves. That means you and me. So, let's work together to create a merrier, truer Christmas next year.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.
