Our callings aren’t just about what we do, they also include what we have. And that means God cares about our money, possessions, and even our time. In 2 Corinthians, Paul shows us how the gospel can keep us from turning our stuff into an idol or an inconvenience. This freedom in Jesus lets us both enjoy and share the things God gives us in radical ways.
