The Love Of Money Is The Root Of Evil!
The Bible has a lot to say about the love of money…
Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.
In fact, Jesus talked more about money than even heaven and hell. We should talk about it too, in a healthy, open way that is founded on biblical truth. Without a doubt, the love of money is the root of evil. Here are seven financial essentials from the Bible that Christians should know.
We Live In A Culture That Tells Us Having More Is Better. Our Tendency As Sinful Human Beings Is To Want More Money, A Bigger House, A Newer Phone, And More Expensive Possessions. If We’re Trying To Find Our Happiness In Money, We’ll Never Be Satisfied. Do You Have The Love Of Money In You?
Before we can steward what God gives us, we need to have a healthy relationship with money. Christians are called to contentment with what God has given them in each stage of life. Take a look at these bible verses below about managing finances. Whoever loves money never has enough (Ecclesiastes 5:10) “Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.” God blesses those who make money through honest work rather than sinful practices. God calls us to pay back what we owe and help those who have helped us. It’s wise for us to plan, think through how we’ll make money, and spend money. Saving money can help set us up for future financial success.
