Money & Jesus
My learnings on building financial foundations on the Word of God.
It’s All His
Yahweh our God, all this wealth that we’ve provided for building You a house for Your holy name comes from Your hand; everything belongs to You. 1 Chronicles 29:16 HCSB
Ruler of Everything
Riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler of everything. Power and might are in Your hand, and it is in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all. - 1 Chronicles 29:12 HCSB
Deadly Trap
Wealth created by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist and a deadly trap. - Proverbs 21:6 NLT
Hid Themselves
15 Then everyone—the kings of the earth, the rulers, the generals, the wealthy, the powerful, and every slave and free person—all hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 And they cried to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. - Revelation 6:15-16 NLT
Run to Yahweh
10 The name of Yahweh is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are protected. 11 A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city; in his imagination it is like a high wall. - Proverbs 18:10-11 HCSB
Weep & Howl
Come now, you rich people! Weep and wail over the miseries that are coming on you. Your wealth is ruined and your clothes are moth-eaten. - James 5:1-2 HCSB
Honor or Riches
A gracious woman gains honor, but violent men gain only riches. - Proverbs 11:16 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
Wise Wealth
The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they get. - Proverbs 21:20 NLT
Lure of Wealth
The seed that fell among the thorns represents others who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced. - Mark 4:18-19 NLT
Sorrow Awaits
“What sorrow awaits you who build big houses with money gained dishonestly! You believe your wealth will buy security, putting your family’s nest beyond the reach of danger. But by the murders you committed, you have shamed your name and forfeited your lives. - Habakkuk 2:9-10 NLT
Get Rich Quick
Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time. - Proverbs 13:11 NLT
Fall of Tyre’s Ruler
By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has become proud because of your wealth.” Therefore this is what the Lord God says: Because you regard your heart as that of a god, I am about to bring strangers against you, ruthless men from the nations. They will draw their swords against your magnificent wisdom and will defile your splendor. - Ezekiel 28:5-7 HCSB
Chasing Riches
He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes? - Ecclesiastes 5:10-11 ESV
God Provides
Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be arrogant or to set their hope on the uncertainty of wealth, but on God, who richly provides us with all things to enjoy. - 1 Timothy 6:17 HCSB
