Pivotal to your spiritual life

Luke 16:11  And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven?    Luke 12:34 Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.    Rev 3:17-18  "You say, 'I am rich, with everything I want; I don't need a thing!' And you don't realize that spiritually you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked."

Dt 8:17,18  You may say to yourself, "My power and...strength... produced this wealth for me."  But remember the Lord, for He gives you the ability to produce wealth.    Ps 62:10 If your riches increase, don't be proud.    Ps 24:1 The earth belongs to God! Everything in all the world is his!    Col 1:17 "All things were created by Him and for Him...in Him all things hold together."    Also see: 1 Chron 29:11   Ps 50:12  1 Cor 10:26

Ecc 5:11 The more you have, the more you spend, right up to the limits of your income.     Lu 16:10  Whoever can be trusted with little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.   Ps 37:16  Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked.

Pr 21:17  A man who loves pleasure becomes poor.    Pr 23:19  Don't carouse with drunkards and gluttons...they are on their way to poverty.    Lu 15:13-14  The younger son... squandered his wealth in wild living.  After he had spent everything...he began to be in need.  Titus 2:11-12 The grace of God...teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives.

Lu 16:13  You cannot serve two masters...you will be enthusiastic about one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God & Money.    Ecc 5:10 Whoever loves money...is never satisfied with his income.    1 Tim 6:10 The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
