Mammon is money ruling over people. Subjected to the dominion of money ourselves, we lack the strength to rebel against its rule. Whenever life is dependent on income and finances, that is mammon. And because we are dependent in precisely this way – because our personal lives are broken by our enslavement to mammon – we are not in a position to apply the lever that lifts the locked door off its hinges. And yet we are able to recognize that money is the real enemy of God.

God or mammon. Money or spirit. This is the question.
