Religiously Speaking
» By Rev. Howard D. Blalock, Pastor
Emmanuel Baptist Church, Blackshear
What Is Money?
“There are three kinds of trou
ble in the world”, says Thomas
L. Masson, “money, others, your
self”.
The only way to get rid of
the money problem is to put it
into the realm of the spiritual.
Behold Jesus, sitting over against
the treasury, watching us as we
earn, spend, and divide our mon
ey.
As Bruce S. Wright says: “He
has a right to be at your elbow
when you write your checks and
sign them, when you receive your
pay envelope and distribute its
contents, when you invest your
money, when you borrow or
lend. He has a right to watch
you. I rather think He is the on
ly one who has. I am sure I have
not. Money is a touchy subject.
Money is altogether to frightful
in its ability to bring about mis
understandings in families, quar
rels among friends, cases at court,
and upheavals in church. I am
sure I do not have the right to
pry into the money affairs of
people, it is altogether a too de
licate a matter. But I am sure
that Jesus is in His rightfull
place when he sits over against
the treasury watching people cast
in their money. Let us look upon
the subject of money through the
eyes of Jesus”.
If we go through the Gospels,
trace this thing through, we will
be surprised how much Jesus had
to say about it. What he said can
be boiled down to a simple prin
ciple: God’s ownership, man’s,
partnership. The earth is the
Lord’s man is a laborer with
God, owning nothing, holding it
a little while in trust and ac
counting to God for the way he
uses it. Jesus said to a man who
thought he owned the whole bus
iness, “Thou fool, this night thy
soil shall be required of thee,
then whose shall these things be
which thou has provided?”
“The earth is the Lord’s”.
What does that mean? J. Wallace
Hamilton says:: “It means first
that all business in the final an
alsis is God’s business. All creat
ive, constructive work in the
world belongs to Him, then it’s
absurdly impossible to divorce
religion from the material or to
rule God from any department
of life.
“Its pure fiction to think of
one-tenth belonging to God, the
rest our own; one day the Lord’s
day, the rest our own; one house,
the Lord’s House, the rest be
longing to the landlord of the
devil; one type of work, like
preaching and praying and teach
ing a Sunday School class, as
the Lord’s work and the rest of
it which for most of us is nine
ty-nine percent, with no religious
significance. We have completely
missed the message of Christia
nity if we exclude God from any
area of life”.
When we get a sence of God
into the affairs of life, every bus
iness becomes God’s business
And all business is meant to serve
a higher end than just business,
higher end than just business,
story of three brothers in Tenn
essee who owned" a very profit
able and thriving business. The}'
were offered a chance to take a
controlling interest in a new in
vention if they would just take it
over and develop it; with their
contacts, make a market for it.
They refused to do it and this ।
was their reason. They said,
“We are men with families, and
officials in our church. With our
present volume of business, we
are making a comfortable living
and, at the present time, have
time to do our part toward re
ligious and educational, civic and
charitable enterprises of our city.
When our day’s work is over, we
can forget our business, give our
evenings to our families, our
church, and our community. If
we take this thing, it means long
er hours. That would leave us
no time for our church or our
children. We have decided ihat
these are values which money
cannot buy and we cannot sacri
fice these things to make more
money which we can do without.
Does that sound strange? It
is the Gospel truth. Money, the
mat^ial, was never meant as
something to be absorbed in.
It is to help us to become some
thing more than material. Money
is a power that can be exchang
ed for values that are enterral.
This is what money is for, to
get things done in the world,
things that are to be exchanged
for values enternal and imortal.
Cancer Facts
Facilities for treatment of can-'
cer have more than doubled in
the last decade, according to the
American Cancer Society.
Scientists working under A
merican Cancer Society grants
are seeking drugs to cure cancer.
The only approved cures for
cancer now are surgery and ra
diation.
Only one lung cancer case in
20 is cured today. Ten out of 20
could be saved if diagnosis were
made early enough, the American
Cancer Society says.
The American Cancer Society
is the only voluntary health a
gency in the United States fight
ing cancer through a comprehen
sive program of research, educa
tion and service to cancer pa
tients.
