Spending the Master's Money

In college it was alot easier to spend my parent's money than my "own." I spent it on my friends. It was easy. Jesus encourages us to use the master's resource in the same way. In Luke 16 he says, "I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings." I am often asked what I do during a trip to China. My response, "I am spending the master's resources and making friends."
