Weekly Words of Instruction

The NBC show "The Apprentice", uses the 70's song, "Money, Money, Money" which was performed by the R&B group, the O'Jays. We would like to share a few things with you concerning what the word of God teaches about money. First of all, money belongs to God and He gives it to man (Psalms 50:10–12, 1 Kings 3:13). Money is also great if it is earned honestly (Ephesians 4:28, 2 Thessalonians 3:6–9). Money is to be used to take care of the family (1 Timothy 5:8, Genesis 43:19–22). To buy the things desired (2 Samuel 24:24, 1 Kings 21:2). Money is to be used to help those in need (Luke 10:34–35). Money is to be used to pay bills (Romans 13:6–8).

Money should never be placed before God (Matthew 6:33). A person should save some of his money (Proverbs 21:20, Luke 15:11–14). A person shouldn't commit sin in order to get paid (2 Peter 2:15, Matt. 26:14–16). And last, but not least, men shouldn't love money (1 Timothy 6:10).

Hope to hear from you or see you at the services.
