Synopsis

Money: A Popular Exposition In Rough Notes by Thomas Binney. This work collects a series of sermons on the Christian doctrine of money, wealth, and stewardship. It presents money as a neutral power that can either serve God or Mammon, outlining a two-part argument: first, money may be a bad thing when misused, as wealth opposes spiritual truth and obstructs entrance into the kingdom of God; second, money may be put to a good use through beneficent acts, almsgiving, and charitable works that please God and store treasure in heaven. The text surveys New Testament teachings, including examples from Jesus’ teachings and the Acts, to illustrate how covetousness corrupts ministers and believers alike. It then offers a positive program of systematic beneficence and stewardship, urging believers to spend, save, and give in proportion to God’s blessings, with celebratory emphasis on rewards in this life and the next for faithful stewardship. Overall, Binney argues that money’s value lies in its use for charitable and spiritual ends, underpinned by a life of faith and love.
