SINGAPORE - Singapore will stop printing ＄1,000 banknotes from Jan 1 next year, its central bank said on Tuesday, to curb the risk of them being used for money laundering and to finance terrorism.

Countries around the world have been looking to phase out high denomination notes for years over concerns they are used predominantly for criminal activity. European authorities halted the printing of the 500 euro (S＄790) note last year.

This is essentially a law against money laundering. The principle that God doesn’t want dirty money calls to mind the story of Judas and the 30 silver coins he got from betraying Christ (Matthew 27:5).

Serious wrongdoing can only be erased before God if there is a turning of the heart (Ezekiel 18:31). More important than the amount a person or entity donates to a charity are the spirit and means that were used to acquire that money. Was it whole-hearted honest labor? Was it through the sale of something dear and valuable?

If we are living morally unclean lives, we cannot just buy a seat in the house of God’s true worship. Salvation would be a mere illusion (Ezekiel 7:19). [2]

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33).
