NO TIME TO MAKE MONEY

Charles Spurgeon shared this story of a friend - Professor Agassiz was a very talented who took on a simply job and spent most of his time serving the Lord. One close friend expressed his wonder that a man of such abilities as Agassiz should remain contented with such a moderate income.

"I have enough," was Agassiz’s reply. "I have no time to make money. Life is not sufficiently long to enable a man to get rich and do his duty to his fellow men at the same time."

Do we Christians have time to serve our God and yet at the same time, giving our whole souls towards gaining wealth?

- Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Quotable Spurgeon, (Wheaton: Harold Shaw Publishers, Inc, 1990)
