This was preached at a joint New Year's Eve worship service between the Emmanuel URC of Neerlandia and the Neerlandia Canadian Reformed Church. I wish to acknowledge by indebtedness to a sermon by Rev. Tim Keller, "Money" from March 9, 2003 and to his list of symptons on money sickness listed in that sermon. His sermon is available for a small fee (for which I get nothing) at www.gospelinlife.com/money.
