That’s amazing.
We can learn the ‘smartness’ of the world in cheating the government and use that same ‘smartness’ to advance the Kingdom of God, but not to cheat/harm any one, and also we need to make sure our foundations are built on principles of the Kingdom of God
“blameless and innocent…in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation” Phil 2: 15
Perfect
Thanks Ruby.

Liked the perspective on the use of technology for advancing God’s kingdom.
So true that Christians will be considered dumb for abiding by principles. Others will create fake rent receipts and claim deduction on rent supposedly paid to grandfathers and spouses, fake medical bills and investment statements, for saving tax money on salary (these could be the top qualified, polished people in the company). And they will call you foolish for not doing these things, offering the govt a big share in your income. They’ll invent methods to cheat in business practices. However, as children of God, I think we are called to be “blameless and innocent…in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation” 🙂

Yes, bro you are right. Being faithful is very important. God rewards us for being faithful. Even in this same portion, I think Jesus continues with this point, “11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?”
Therefore, the key is to be a faithful steward. Thanks bro for highlighting it. 🙂 God bless you

Well put Donny.. God bless you.. A small thing I would like to add is that for somethings we do, we may not see immediate results.. but as you said we should press on to give it our best.. Like Amy Carmichael said “There have been times of late when I have had to hold on to one text with all my might: “It is required in stewards that a man may be found faithful.” Praise God, it does not say “sucessful.””
