Money & Jesus
My learnings on building financial foundations on the Word of God.
Canceled Debt
“A certain moneylender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?” - Luke 7:41-42 ESV
Wickedness
Then the Lord said to him, “You Pharisees are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and wickedness! - Luke 11:39 NLT
The Magnificat
He has satisfied the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty. - Luke 1:53 HCSB
Shrewd Manager
“The rich man had to admire the dishonest rascal for being so shrewd. And it is true that the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with the world around them than are the children of the light. Here’s the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home. - Luke 16:8-9 NLT
Faithful Stewardship
“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? - Luke 16:10-11 ESV
Last Laugh
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him. And he said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God. - Luke 16:14-15 ESV
Money-bag
He also said to them, “When I sent you out without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Not a thing,” they said. Then He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn’t have a sword should sell his robe and buy one. - Luke 22:35-36 HCSB
Can’t Repay
Then he turned to his host. “When you put on a luncheon or a banquet,” he said, “don’t invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. For they will invite you back, and that will be your only reward. Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. - Luke 14:12-13 NLT
Don’t be Greedy
Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.” - Luke 12:15 NLT
