Money

"For where your treasure (money) is, there will your heart be also."

"For the love of money is a root of all evil." 1 Tim. 6:10

"Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'" Heb. 13:5

"Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless." Eccles. 5:10

"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." Luke 16:13

"not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money" 1 Tim 3:3

There is a verse in the Old Testament that the writer says a prayer that he not be too rich that he will think he doesn't need God, or too poor that he will curse God. I know in the New Testament that God first trusts people with a little and if they can do that, then He will trust them with more. It's for our own good, since He wants us to spend eternity with Him.

All the money is God's. Christians are commanded to tithe 10%. The Bible is very clear that it's not a suggestion. That money is His, and if we keep it, we are stealing God's money. And if we give it to our church, then He will bless us so that the 'storehouses overflow.'

It's a win-win situation.
