where is my mind?

Been meditating on the parable of the shrewd manager (Luke 16:1-12) recently.. ie. this morning. found these questions confronting but helpful:

Have you settled in your mind, that, unlike the world, you will (and are prepared to) lose many temporary pleasures, in order to be faithful, trustworthy, with greater and eternal things?

Have you settled in your mind that you just won’t get to visit all the great sites of the world? And you’ll pay that price, because you know that Heaven is better. If you don’t, or can’t think like this, is it because you are trying to serve two masters, and God is really getting the leftovers?

Have you adjusted your giving as your income has changed? Or do you still have a standard offertory that is really a bit of an insult, and not gratitude at all? That’s a good question.

Do you think that God may have entrusted huge riches to this Church for a critical time, and that we really could and should be great stewards for the Kingdom?

Do you spend anything for the gospel like what you spend on holidays and houses?

Who in the Church is going to show the lead on being shrewd?
