We all know the phrase, Time is Money. But have you ever really stopped and thought about what that means? We talk about spending time and investing time and even saving time, but do we follow that to its logical conclusion? If I save time now, will I have more time later? If I invest my time in the right way, will I get a return on that investment? For the Christian, we are called to be stewards of our resources- does that mean that God will call me to account for how I spend every day? Every hour? Every moment? If so, then there's not a minute to waste. Time is Money is a metaphor- but it's not simply a figure of speech. The truth is, Time is Money is a metaphor that we use to really understand and conceptualize time. It's a metaphor we believe- in fact, it's a metaphor we live by. We use a lot of metaphors like this in our daily conversations. But how often do we recognize them as metaphors? Are they accurate? Are they helpful? Most of all, the Christian must ask, are they Biblical? In this book, we will explore the metaphors that we unwittingly weave throughout our thoughts, conversations, and lives. Are they true? Are they useful? Are they Biblical? In short, what are the metaphors we must live by?
