Money: Since the Bible is concerned with God, Christ, eternity and Godly living, some might think that the subject of money would be beneath the Bible’s attention. But the opposite is true. Money is part of life in this world, and no matter how “spiritual” you are, or how much you love Jesus, money is part of your life and you need to learn to handle it God’s way. Proverbs has much to say on the subject, quickly, a few biblical lessons concerning money:
1. It cannot be trusted (11:28). It will let you down, but righteous living will be faithful.
2. It should not be obtained sinfully (10:2), but righteous living delivers from death.
3. Avoid debt (22:7).
4. Work for financial success (12:11).
5. Saving is commended (13:11).
6. Generosity (11:25) is honorable.
