wealth, is the golden chain that binds them [people] to Satan.” —Ellen G.
White, Steps to Christ, p. 44. ---The author of our lesson is not
trying to teach Marxism or socialistic theories of Friedrich Engels. ---What you need to know about Engels,
is that he almost said the same as Ellen White in his books, but the state was
to get all the money. No God but the state. ---Secondly about Engels, the friend of
Karl Marx, is that he died very, very wealthy. Did not practice what he
preached. ---That is beside moral and drinking
problems. ---But the desire for money can mean
that people step on others in order to gain. ---In 1933 my grandfather, who was a
stonemason building stone estates for the rich and the police station in my
hometown, was asked to build a pastoral home for a farmer. ---The farmer had a church built on his
farm and at the Lord’s Supper on Sundays people had to stay in tents and also
the pastor. ---So he needed a house for them to have
a basecamp for the pastor and people. ---It was a Dutch Reformed Church
Calvinistic tradition. ---My grandfather finished and asked his
salary from the farmer. “What salary? I cannot remember that we made a
contract. Can you show me the paper?” ---My grandfather died in the meantime.
My grandmother was widow to 12 children. A knock on the door. A young girl in
highschool asked if she can stay with them. She has no food. ---A few days later another knock on the
door. My grandfather’s debtor. ---He cried and lamented about his
wrongs against my grandfather and told her that he went bankrupt and how
thankful he is that my grandmother did not reject his daughter despite what
happened. ---“God forgives all of us. That is
important Stephen” my grandmother said. ---What do we in our wealth owe God?
Tithe. Are we in debt with God but not with the world?
