Do you try to box God in? Have you put God in
a box to fit your own political, theological, or economic opinions? We all do
it, of course; but the transcendent God is not our pawn. God does not
belong to us. We belong to God.
Just as God will not let us put "him" into a box he will not let us put our money into a box either. God insists that the ways we spend and give our money be integrated into our faith. To render unto God what comes from God is to offer everything for God’s use: our work, our play, our time, our money, our very selves. And when we trust God with the whole of our lives, we will experience the joyful freedom of living outside a box.
