Two Philosophical Views

Let’s consider two different views of how God works in our lives. We’ll call them the human way and the Biblical way. The logic in the human way goes like this: You put a hundred dollars in the church offering and then figure that God owes you a thousand – it’s more of an investment. It’s all about the benefit that will come to you. The problem with this approach is that God doesn’t owe us anything.

The Biblical way is the total opposite – it starts with God. God blesses us and we bless others in response to his goodness. God gives us a hundred dollars and then says, “Now you give a hundred dollars to somebody else.”

Following the human way leads to disappointment. But following the Biblical way leads to contentment. The human way keeps score of loses, while the Biblical way counts blessings.
