💡 Wealth is a God Idea

A short YouTube talk (by Jonathan Cronin) arguing that business, work, and making money are compatible with Christian faith. Using Paul the Apostle's tentmaking as an example, the speaker challenges the view that ministry and profit are incompatible and explicitly states that making money, building wealth, and prospering are aligned with God's intention.

The idea that God is separate from business, or that business is man's idea is false. We were made to not only be with God, but to work and put our hands to something to grow it. Even Paul the Apostle, one of the most faith filled men in the Bible, worked a job on the side to make money, to support himself, and to reach more people. You can imagine if Paul the Apostle was in today's time and an ad popped up in front of you on the Internet promoting Paul's tent making business. Can you imagine how many Christians would react to that? People who truly understand what the Bible says? A lot of them would say he just wants to make money. I thought he was in ministry. He shouldn't be making money. Making money, building wealth and prospering is a God idea, not man's idea.
