Claim. No one can serve both God and money; sacrificing for wealth as a route to serving God is a trap that fails.
Elaboration. Quoting Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, the pastor reads, ‘No one can serve two masters … You cannot serve both God and’ — and corrects the congregation’s guess of ‘Satan’: ‘It’s not Satan … No, money. That’s what Jesus says’ (Transcript, 48:14–48:42). She names the seductive version of the error: ‘I’m going to get rich and then I’m going to help the church. It doesn’t happen … because your focus is wrong. You get lost’ (ibid, 48:57–49:12). ‘It’s a trick. It sounds like a good idea,’ she warns — the modern dream of money, a flexible job, and influence is good, but it must not be the aim (ibid, 49:12–49:17; 47:36–48:02).
Significance. Even sacrifice can be misdirected: offered to wealth, it quietly swaps masters.
