We had the privilege of learning from Tim Keller, the pastor of Redeemer Church in Manhattan, as he taught from Luke 10 at a Campus Crusade conference this past July.

You cannot serve both God and money.” ~ Luke 16:13 NLT “Just watch a child standing before a selection of candy after he has been told he can have something. Perhaps he ends up just looking. . . and looking. Maybe you see him reach for one thing, only to pull his hand back and start for another. What is the problem? Does the child not like candy?
