Spiritual checkbook

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:21)

Some evening when you have a spare moment, get out your old checkbook registers and read through the entries. You may find it interesting, and perhaps somewhat startling, to discover just how the money you've earned has been spent.

The entries...chronicle every major event...and quite accurately reflect your tastes, habits, and interests.... The total spent in each category will pinpoint the things that make the greatest demands on your income--either because of need or by choice.

Such a checkbook checkup might also show our spiritual temperature. The contributions given to the work of the Lord compared with the expenditures for the unnessary things of life offer some clues.
