Mammonisation of Church


The following an email to Australian Christians, many of whom do not understand what Jesus meant when He said that one “cannot serve both God and mammon.” It serves as a warning for Christians everywhere, including those who think and identify themselves as evangelists. Whenever you tell them about what is wrong with the world, they accuse you of being judgmental and having an air of superiority. The reason for all decay is the worship of the spirit of Mammon, which is in absolute opposition to the nature of God. This is the core issue that all need to deal with. All other issues are secondary to this as they stem from the worship of Mammon:

Many non-Christians think that Christians are hypocritical. For those of you who say that 'everyone is hypocritical', this is not true. Some people who staunchly commit to extremely evil things do no reprimand others for the moral values. They are staunch in what they do and do not assume moral high ground. 

Many secularists complain about why the 'conservative Christians' get involved in politics and interfere with what they think is 'civilised' society. They are criticise the silence of the Church about certain issues that the Church should be dealing with, such as usury. This is the reason why Karl Marx lost all respect for the Church because it failed to stop usury, an abomination according to God. Despite his hatred of religion, he once said that "religion is the heart of a heartless world", presumable with reference to Christianity. Christianity should be the heart of a heartless world, but it appears that in the modern world, it is not. If you didn't know, check this out: http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Usury/.​ Usury is evil to the core like homosexuality, abortion, fornication, etc

The Church has become extremely mammonised. Many Christians are too busy in pursuing achievements, money, power, pursuits and other things. The modern Church is now the achievement-driven, status-improving, comfort-seeking Church. It is very true that many secularists are extremely arrogant and think they don't need God. However, many in the church are not following the Bible by giving up one's possessions, and one self. They are only ever focused on their 'own' needs. They think that they can provide for themselves without God's helping hand. Of course, this is not to say that you can sit back and do nothing and let all your needs drop from the sky. I should not have to tell you this, but it looks like many Christians in Australia need to be told. If I sound "patronising" to you, then so be it. 

Jesus said that one cannot serve God and Mammon. Many Christians in Australia try to, but it is impossible. You will hate one and love the other. 

If you accuse me of being self-righteous for saying this, that one cannot serve both Mammon and God, you are not mocking me. You are mocking God. That is your problem if you cannot accept it.

Signs of a Person under the spirit of mammon

Both the unsaved and saved can be under the spirit of mammon. Do not be deceived! An unsaved person can only serve mammon because it is not part of his nature to submit to God in any way (Romans 8:7). However, the Christian can most definitely yield to the temptations of mammon just as he can yield to the temptations of satan. This is what is means for a Christian to be under the spirit of mammon. The signs of a person being under the spirit of mammon are: The person does not understand the spirit of mammon. This is because he or she is blinded by it and therefore cannot see it. The person reacts whenever being confronted with being told that they are under the spirit of mammon, or being told that they may be under it. This is not the person themselves reacting, but the spirit of mammon reacting. The person is self-satisfied with the abundance that they have. This is especially the case with many Christians today. They are happy with having a family, a well-paying job, security

Two types of contentment

The world seeks contentment. It seeks to be contented in pursuit of all kinds of things, whether it be money, health, wealth, romance, sex, careers or family. It does not necessarily seek after riches to be content. However, that one does not seek after money as the first priority, but other things that are typically associated with good traditional values, such as family, does not in any way mean that one is content in the godly sense. By no means! A person can be a "conservative" and "religious" but just as earthly as the "liberal". There are two types of contentment: earthly contentment and godly contentment. Earthly contentment finds its fulfillment and satisfaction in things that are passing away, not necessarily money, but also things like family, education and children. Yes, that's right. Many professing American Christians think that they could never be under the spirit of mammon because they care for their families and love their families, a

The spirit behind Debt, the spirit of Mammon, seeks to Blind, Control, Enslave and Dominate by debt

Many people just cannot understand what usury is for what it is. Thus, in order for people to understand what exactly usury is, they must be made to understand debt first. Debt is not merely money to be repaid. It has power. Debt indeed is power, which comes from a source not from God: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12).  One can discern that debt has a power behind it if one uses one's godly discernment. Debt brings spiritual bondage to a person, not merely financial bondage, but spiritual bondage. The real issue with debt for all people whether unsaved or saved is that it keeps people from fully serving God. It is a spiritual stronghold of mammon that panders to the flesh, to make a God-hater even more hostile against God, by feeding on his flesh to increase its appetite even more. It is also a spiritual stronghold
