God, On Money: Ask people what God has to say about money and most will tell you, "money is evil" or "He wants us to give it to Him." Actually, based on the Bible, God has a lot to say about money. These 3 pages are devoted to a review of what God says about money...earning, budgeting, debt, saving, investing, attitude and yes...giving. Considering what most people think, there will be many surprises...enjoy!

How should a Christian feel about money? One group feels that money and possessions are evil and if we were pure Christians we wouldn't have any. Another group says God loves us and won't deny us anything and, if our faith was strong enough we would be the wealthiest people in the World. Each group draws its position from the Bible...but only part of the Bible. Some Christian organizations teach that a specific percentage of everything you make should be given to them (as God's storehouse)...some even deny membership unless you promise to do this. Others teach that, through taxation and certain entitlement programs, the Government is doing God's work with your money. These, also, get their positions from the Bible. You should be asking at this point, "What good is the Bible on money if it contradicts itself so much?"...but it doesn't.

The Bible only seems to contradict itself when people take their narrow opinion and stretch a few verses out of context to support it. Would it surprise you to know that God wants you to have more than enough wealth so you can bless people with it? Would it surprise you to know He wants you to invest the money He has given you so you can make more? What if you found out that God wants lazy people to go hungry? If these things challenge what you thought about Christians and money, read on...you're going to enjoy this.
