Christians have infinite
how-to manuals on marriage, money, sex, and everything else, but I don't see
much of what I read in 1 Corinthians 7, which speaks of sitting lightly with
what we have with a sense of detachment. Money, for example, is God's, not ours.
We didn't bring our pink Cadillac into the world, and we can't take it with us
to the new kingdom, even if we get buried with it. We are simply stewards of
God's property, which should change the whole way we look at the concept of
ownership and how it relates to the mission of the church or evangelism.
