How can we tell if our desire for money is a good, God-given desire, instead of a love for Mammon? Pastor John offers seven ways to discern the difference. Hello, everyone, and happy Friday. Thanks for joining us on the Ask Pastor John podcast today. Pastor John joins us remotely over Skype. And our question today is from a listener named Wesley, who has an important work question, though it’s unclear where he works. Wesley writes, “Hello, Pastor John! Recently, my boss offered me and all my colleagues a cash bonus for anyone generating new referrals. I felt immediately lured into the proposition. But my question is this: Should the straight-up offer of cash be a good motivator for our work? Can the desire for more money — in this case, a bonus — be desirous in a virtuous way? Or is this simply the love of money? How can I tell the difference?” Read or listen to this interview at our website: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/money-motivates-me-to-work-hard-is-that-okay Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes: https://www.desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
