DEEPER INTO THE ABUNDANT LIFE: Deeper Sacrifice: Sacrificial Finance. The acronym LIFE is a helpful way to think about our living sacrifice of generosity. L = Labor, I = Influence, F = Finances, & E = Experience. The 1st Commandment is “You shall have no other gods.” A “god”, Martin Luther explained in the Large Catechism, is anything you look to for your happiness and/or security. According to that definition surely the #1 false god of all time is money. No wonder the Bible talks more about money than almost anything else (more than 2000 verses). Commanding us to be generous with our money is God’s way of teaching us to keep our priorities in order.
