这段讲道探讨了箴言中关于金钱智慧的教导，指出仅仅遵守道德规则不足以应对生活中与金钱相关的复杂问题。真正的智慧在于理解金钱的力量、金钱力量的根源以及如何打破金钱的控制，并将其用于荣耀上帝和造福他人。讲道者认为，金钱具有极大的属灵力量，它可以腐蚀人的正直，放大自私，转移注意力，让人骄傲自满，并最终让人远离上帝。金钱之所以有如此大的力量，是因为它能提供人们除了上帝之外的意义感和安全感。要打破金钱的控制，首先要承认自己可能对金钱的依赖存在否认，其次要理解“散布”原则，即慷慨给予，而不是一味地积累。讲道者强调，耶稣基督的十字架是终极的散布与聚集，是牺牲性给予的典范。只有理解并回应耶稣基督的牺牲，才能真正打破金钱的控制，获得真正的自由和财富。最后，讲道者也提到什一奉献，但强调这仅仅是规则，真正的智慧在于将十字架的牺牲精神融入到经济生活中，做出可衡量的牺牲，这才是真正的智慧。

Wisdom is more than just being moral and good; it involves knowing the right choice in most life situations that moral rules don't address.

Shownotes Transcript

You will have a mess of a life if you only follow the rules and don’t have actual wisdom in the area of money.

Wisdom is not less than being moral and good; it’s much more. It’s knowing the right choice in the majority of life situations that moral rules don’t address. People who only look to the rules in the area of money are going to be destructively unwise in their lives.

Proverbs shows three things you need to know to be wise in the area of money and possessions: 1) the power of money, 2) the reasons for the power of money, and 3) how to break the power of money and use it in your life.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 31, 2004. Series: Proverbs: True Wisdom for Living. Scripture: Proverbs 10:15-16; 11:1, 4, 24, 26; 13:21, 23; 30:8-9.
