2. Most people view giving in a negative way
Acts 20:35
The more you give the
happier you will be!
3. One Thing You Lack
Mark 10:17-22
1. A person can have everything
else in his life completely in line
with God’s word, but if his attitude
toward money is wrong, he can
still be lost.
2. Improper giving is on the same
level as murder and every other
sin!
4. God Says Much about Money
The most frequently discussed subjects in
all of the Scriptures
There are 89 chapters in gospels and
the subject of giving is discussed 123
times.
The Bible talks more about money than it
does about faith, repentance,
confession, baptism, church
organization and qualifications of elders
and deacons all combined.
5. God Says Much about Money
One out of every six verses in the
New Testament deals with money,
and half of Jesus’ parables discuss
the subject.
10. The First Principle of Stewardship
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
by Stephen Covey
“Paradigm Shift”
EVERYTHING BELONGS TO GOD!
Proverbs 23:7
Psalms 50:9-12
11. Do Not Forget the Lord
Deuteronomy
8:7-18
We think that we have money because we
work hard, invest wisely or are frugal.
Do not misunderstand: You will have
more money if you work hard, invest
wisely and are frugal than you would if
you did not do those things. But you
must understand that those are not the
reasons you have money.
12. Do Not Forget the Lord
Here is how you can know:
Are there people in other countries right
now who work harder than you do?
Yet you will earn five times more in one
year than they will earn in a lifetime.
Why do you earn more? Is it because you
work harder?
No it is because God has placed you in a
position where labor is more financially
prosperous
13. Do Not Forget the Lord
We should remember that with more
blessings comes more responsibility,
and it is more difficult for a rich man to
go to heaven than for “a camel to go
through the eye of a needle.”
14. Don’t Be a Rich Fool
Luke 12:16-21
Malachi 3:8
Suppose you went to the bank and deposited
$5000. Two weeks later you returned to the
bank (after they had been using your money
and asked to withdraw $500. The teller smiles
at you, explains that the bank used all but $25
of it, and offers to give that to you.
Would you be happy with that kind of
stewardship?
Yet that is how we treat God’s money!
