God and Mammon (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this speech, Steve Gregg emphasizes the importance of aligning personal values with the will of God. He explains that believers should strive to keep their conscience clear, even if it sometimes requires going against popular opinion. Gregg also stresses the need for Christians to prioritize eternal rewards over earthly treasures, arguing that wealth obtained here on earth is ultimately insecure and unsatisfying. Laying up treasures in heaven, he argues, is the key to a meaningful and fulfilling life.
