WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT MONEY

September 19, 2023

“He who tills his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits is lacking in sense.” Proverbs 12:11

Most people would agree that the Bible contains great advice about life. But does the Bible really say much about money? Does it really give us advice that we can apply to our own lives in today’s world?

Yes.

The Bible is as relevant and helpful today as when it was written. Take the topic of money, for example:

Did you know money is mentioned in the Bible over 800 times?

God must know how important this topic would be to talk about it that much.

In fact, Jesus says in Luke 16:11, “So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?”

It appears from this verse that God uses money as a way to gauge our management and stewardship skills before entrusting us with spiritual things. It’s true – money can solve a lot of problems. There are many good things that can be done with our finances. Yet, there are also terrible tragedies that await those who believe money will solve all or even most of their problems.

One of the reasons I didn’t support the States’ legalizing and encouraging gambling – be it the lottery or casinos – is because it appeals to the idea that we can get rich by doing nothing. I realize that for many, gambling is a form of entertainment. Yet, very often the people who have the least are the ones who buy into this mindset. It just tugs at my heart when I see a poor individual standing there in the convenience store, buying all those lottery tickets, sometimes with young children resting on both arms. I cringe when I think about how much of their already meager wages are going into a pipe dream that they will find instant wealth.

We must not only learn how to spend money wisely, we need to make sure we understand how to pursue money in a way that makes sense.

Take some time to study what the Bible has to say about money to be sure you own your money, and your money doesn’t own you.
