Can a Scrooge Go To HEAVEN? January 31, 2026 bizadmin 🔴🔴🔴 🔥 CAN A SCROOGE GO TO HEAVEN? 🔥 🔴🔴🔴 CAN A SCROOGE GO TO HEAVEN? MALAYSIAN HOSPITALITY is one of the most beautiful expressions of our culture. When friends gather to eat, drink, and celebrate, we do not calculate every sen. We believe in GENEROUSITY, in TREATING ONE ANOTHER, and in the SPIRIT OF TOGETHERNESS. We are NOT naturally a “Dutch treat” society. Yet sadly, within this warmth, there exists a certain species of friend: 🔴 THE MISERLY FREELOADER 🔴 You know them well. They arrive early, smile widely, and order generously—as if the menu were sponsored by someone else’s bank account. They eat to their heart’s content. They drink without restraint. They laugh loudly. They enjoy everything. AND THEN… THE BILL ARRIVES. Suddenly, they become INVISIBLE. One type stares into space, as though the receipt were written in ancient Greek. Another studies the bill deeply—appearing ready to pay—yet the waiter always ends up handing it to the same generous soul already reaching for their wallet. Then there are those who NEVER PAY AT ALL, yet hop from gathering to gathering, behaving as if their mere presence is a form of currency. “My company is enough,” they seem to believe. Some of them earn far more than the friends treating them—yet they will not chip in even once. Not once. Not even a token gesture. 🔴 THE HYPOCRITICAL HOST 🔴 This one loudly declares: “ORDER WHATEVER YOU WANT! DON’T WORRY!” They act like a great host— UNTIL the bill is placed on the table. At that moment, they become strangely mute, suddenly fascinated by: their phone the ceiling fan anything except responsibility How can anyone repeatedly accept free meals, free drinks, free generosity— without even a flicker of shame? 🔴 THE DEMANDING STINGY ONE 🔴 Even worse are freeloaders who are not only stingy—but DEMANDING: “I want this brand of beer.” “I only drink single malt.” “Order the seafood platter.” They are generous with other people’s money, and miserly with their own—down to the last decimal point. And when—by some miracle—it becomes their turn to treat? They suddenly shout: “LET’S GO DUTCH!” Without embarrassment. Without irony. Without shame. 🔴 THE OVERSEAS SCROOGE 🔴 Some Malaysians living overseas—especially in strong-currency countries—become very eager to return home for holidays. Why? Because they know Malaysian hospitality is absolute. Friends will: Drive them around Feed them Entertain them Provide shelter And friends even compete to treat them: “No no, I pay!” “Please, you are our guest!” But when someone dares to ask: “Your currency is worth three times the Ringgit. Why can’t you reciprocate at least once?” They arrogantly reply: “NO ONE ASKED ME TO TREAT.” That sentence alone reveals the HEART OF A SCROOGE. A person who mistakes GENEROSITY AS ENTITLEMENT. 🔴 A BIBLICAL WARNING 🔴 Hospitality is a GIFT, not an obligation. Friendship is MUTUAL, not one-sided exploitation. 📖 PROVERBS 11:25 “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” 📖 PROVERBS 21:26 “The righteous give without sparing.” 📖 LUKE 16:10–11 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much… If you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?” 📖 1 TIMOTHY 6:17–18 “Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.” 📖 ACTS 20:35 “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” 📖 MATTHEW 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” 🔴 THE FINAL QUESTION 🔴 CAN A SCROOGE GO TO HEAVEN? Perhaps. But it will be DIFFICULT— because Heaven is built on GRATITUDE, LOVE, and GIVING, NOT on taking advantage of others while pretending not to notice the bill. They may even ask God: “CAN WE GO DUTCH?” But hear this truth: 🔴 YOU MAY FOOL YOUR FRIENDS AT THE TABLE— BUT YOU CANNOT FOOL GOD AT HIS TABLE. 🔴 📖 GALATIANS 6:7 “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” 📖 2 CORINTHIANS 9:6–7 “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly… God loves a cheerful giver.” 📖 JAMES 2:15–16 “If a brother or sister is without food and one of you says, ‘Go in peace,’ but does nothing—what good is it?” 🔴 FINAL WORD 🔴 GENEROUSITY IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE SAVED. If you close your hand to others, do not be surprised if HEAVEN’S GATE FEELS CLOSED TO YOU. Heaven is NOT for freeloaders. It is for those who GIVE, LOVE, and HONOR OTHERS— even when the bill arrives. 🔴 AMEN. 🔴
