Concerning Money


One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;
another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.

A man's riches may ransom his life,
but a poor man hears no threat.

Proverbs 13:7,8 NIV

Better is little with the fear of the LORD than
great treasure and trouble therewith.

Better is a dinner of herbs where love is,
than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

A man with an evil eye hastens after wealth

Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God
is the object of our faith; the only faith
that saves is faith in Him.


Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord

Earth-creatures, bow before God;
world-dwellers - down on your knees!
Here's why: he spoke and there it was,
in place the moment he said so.

God takes the wind out of Babel pretense,
he shoots down the world's power-schemes.
God's plan for the world stands up,
all his designs are made to last.
Blessed is the country with God for God;
blessed are the people he's put in his will.

Psalm 33:8-12 The Message

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold, I'd rather be his than have riches untold. I'd rather have Jesus than world-wide fame, I'd rather be true to his holy name.

Than to be the king of a vast domain, and be held in sins dread sway.
I'd rather have Jesus than anything, this world affords today.

He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom, He's sweeter than honey from out the comb. He,s all that my hungering spirit needs, I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead.

I'm richer than a millionaire.........just because He cares.

I love that song but i don't believe it is that simple. The truth is we need money to survive to live. God is our Provider and no we must not put riches above God but we do need money.

Absolutely......I agree with you totally. I apologise.
