Rodent Regatta

I spent a little time in a $125,000 automobile yesterday. Specs say it will go from zero to 60MPH in something shy of 5.5 seconds.

It was an amazing piece of technology, and as an engineer and technology consultant, I found it to be truly exceptional. My conscience bothered me the whole time I contemplated such a car.

Tony Campolo first addressed the issue of Christians, money and economic status back in the early 1990’s. Since then he has been asked to talk about the subject many times. His talk titled ”Would Jesus Drive a BMW?” has become somewhat distorted by the media, critics and those who simply try to distort any and everything said by Christians.

Those are the same people who misquote the Bible and Christians with ”money is the root of all evil.”

Lust for money brings trouble and nothing but trouble. Going down that path, some lose their footing in the faith completely and live to regret it bitterly ever after. 1 Timothy 6:10 the Message

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10 King James Version
