THEME: THE BELIEVER AND MONEY (1).

But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 1 Timothy 6:6-8

With all the attention out society gives to money, Christians are continually challenged to view it properly. But Scripture provides us with much help and guidance in this area. It is replete with warnings and admonitions about how are to act and think concerning money and wealth.

There Are At Least Eight Basic, Biblical Guidelines That When Believed And Followed will Give Us A Good  Centered View Of Money.

1.       Having money in itself is not wrong (1 Samuel 2:7)

2.          We ought to recognize that money is a gift from God and comes to us through his providence (Deuteronomy 8:11-18)

3.        We must be willing to lose our money, if that's God's will for us. Job said ?the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.(Job 1:21)

4.      We must not be partial toward those who have lots of money (James 2:1-10)
We'll examine four more biblical guidelines tomorrow.
