Show Me The Money

Reading in Luke 16, it becomes abundantly clear that money, while the antithesis of faith in God ("you cannot serve both God and money" vs 13b), it is also a prime tell of your faith ("if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?").

I'm reminded of an axiom in investigations: "Follow the money," which is also true when investigating one's faith or that in which one trusts. Think about it. Where does most of your money go?  

Does your offering at church and/or charities compare with your entertainment expenditures?  Do you find it easy to shell out hundreds or thousands at a jewelry or sporting goods store but would not even consider sending close to that amount to a missionary or "Feed The Hungry" program?  

Would you be comfortable having an audit of how much you spend on sports or movies or eating out compared with what you spend on Kingdom building?  

Do you recall the tag line from the 1996 movie, Jerry Maquire, "Show me the money?"  What would your money have to say about your faith?  What do you "seek first" (Matt 6:33)?  Just asking.
