Lessons on Stewardship 1. God owns it all. 2. Money is never an end in itself, but is merely a resource used to accomplish other goals and obligations. 3. Spend less than you earn and do it for a long time, and you will be financially successful. Is it wrong to then have a long-term goal of financial independence? I believe not--unless financial independence is defined as having enough to be independent from God. Source: Excerpt from Lesson on Stewardship by Ron Blue. Taken from Men's Devotional Bible (NIV).
It all depends on whether you have things, or they have you.
