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.

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

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.”

Don’t Be a Rich Fool
Luke 12:16-21Malachi 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!
