Introduction
Money, sensitive subject.
I started running out of money when I started dating Amanda!
Don’t Trust Money
Proverbs 23:4-5 “Don’t wear yourself out to get rich; because you know better, stop!
As soon as your eyes fly to it, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.”
My story, I like to buy things to get things done.
But it doesn’t work.

Don’t Hope in Money
Proverbs 11:4 “Wealth is not profitable on a day of wrath, but righteousness rescues from death.”
Matthew 6:19 ““Don’t store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.”
No amount of money can save you from death forever.
Don’t Love Money
Proverbs 17:1 “Better a dry crust with peace than a house full of feasting with strife.”
Matthew 6:24 ““No one can serve two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve both God and money.”
1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”
Rich man, Rabbi.
Make Money
Proverbs 26:13–15 (CSB) The slacker says, “There’s a lion in the road—a lion in the public square!”
A door turns on its hinges, and a slacker, on his bed.
The slacker buries his hand in the bowl; he is too weary to bring it to his mouth!
Proverbs 6:6-11 “Go to the ant, you slacker!
Observe its ways and become wise.
Without leader, administrator, or ruler, it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food during harvest.
How long will you stay in bed, you slacker?
When will you get up from your sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest, and your poverty will come like a robber, your need, like a bandit.”
But make it in a good way.
Proverbs 21:6 “Making a fortune through a lying tongue is a vanishing mist, a pursuit of death.”
Proverbs 22:16 “Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself, and giving to the rich—both lead only to poverty.”
Spend Money
Proverbs 30:7-9 “Two things I ask of you; don’t deny them to me before I die: Keep falsehood and deceitful words far from me.
Give me neither poverty nor wealth; feed me with the food I need.
Otherwise, I might have too much and deny you, saying, “Who is the Lord?” or I might have nothing and steal, profaning the name of my God.”
Save Money
Proverbs 13:22 “A good man leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren, but the sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.”
Proverbs 21:17 “The one who loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and oil will not get rich.”
Self-control over self-gratification; and long term over short term.
Give Money
Proverbs 11:24-25 “One person gives freely, yet gains more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.
A generous person will be enriched, and the one who gives a drink of water will receive water.”
Hudson Taylor’s training.
He gets two offers, denies both, then gives all of money away.
