You cannot serve both God and money

Luke 16 1-13
Whoever can be trusted with little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?
No one can serve tow masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
The story Jesus tells his disciples commends the manager’s astuteness(明達), not his dishonesty. He knows how to make money work for him. The debtors are put in his debt by taking up his offer of large discounts. So his future is secured.
Why?
It is trustworthy matter to everyone wanted to be a good manager. Have to be trusted with little than could be trusted with much.
We can not serve two master, so serve the God is better than serve money, for money will gone soon.
How?
How much money I can spend in the future? In the kingdom of God?
