A Transformed Ethic of Money, Part 2 (Selected Scriptures)

Simon Pranaitis explores how believers demonstrate a transformed money ethic through four essential practices. First, Christians live hospitably to strangers, opening homes and resources for gospel work as commanded in Romans 12. Additionally, believers contribute cheerfully to those in need outside their local body, following the example of the Macedonian churches who gave joyfully despite deep poverty. Furthermore, the transformed money ethic includes esteeming church leadership highly through generous financial support, recognizing their diligent labor as worthy of double honor. Finally, believers receive the privilege of supporting church planters and missionaries faithfully, enabling full-time gospel ministry. This transformed money ethic flows from hearts changed by the gospel, demonstrating God's generous love through practical stewardship. When believers embrace these principles, they work diligently, save wisely, and give generously, reflecting Christ's sacrificial example, who became poor so that others might become rich.
