Christian stewardship, as commonly taught today, tells us that part of wise financial management is to deposit money regularly into savings and allow it to accumulate. The doctrine of nonaccumulation, on the other hand, states the Jesus forbids His followers to accumulate wealth on earth and commands them to distribute to others that which they do not currently need. Which of these teachings is correct?
Does it really matter how many possessions a Christian has? Isn’t it your attitude toward your possessions that matters? Doesn’t God want people with great financial resources dedicated to His kingdom?
Isn’t the gospel so confusing on the subject that it’s just a matter for each Christian to interpret for himself?
Roger Hertzler has tackled this hotly debated subject with a charitable straightforward look at what Jesus clearly taught on all these issues. Your very relationship with Christ hinges on what you do with those teachings. Jesus clearly and repeatedly said so. As you read, you may be surprised at how dogmatically Jesus set forth a doctrine many choose to ignore.
