Just finished a weekend run from Laredo to Atlanta, waiting to get reloaded for a trip West this morning, considering Luke 16:1-9.
Using my AI Bible study assistant, the consensus of reformed and Puritan commentators serves as a corrective and a tonic to modern, often anemic and apathetic, Christians in affluent America. Jesus is not praising the actions of the parable’s main character.
He’s drawing attention to his resourceful sense of urgency when he realizes that life as he knows it is coming to an end.
For us, life as we know it, is also coming to an end.
Yet, don’t many live and order their priorities as though this is not the case.
Does the fact that, as Christians, we are saved from the penalty of sin mean that we will not be called to give an account for what we did, with the time, gifts, and resources over which we were made stewards by our Master?
