Do you dream of living a life where you never have to worry or stress about money again? What do our spending and saving habits reveal about our mindset on money?
Many people do not understand MONEY properly. Is it good or bad? The reality is that there are many Bible verses about money; how you deal with money gives a revelation of your heart. Luke 19:6-9 and Matthew 19:21-26 gives us a picture of that reality in encounters that Jesus had with people who had issues with possessions and money. Jesus taught about the reality of the soul and gave a command to sell possessions and give to the poor.
More than the issue of money, Jesus addresses here the heart and faith of people. Is money good or evil? It depends on how we look at money. Our choices on spending, saving, and even working to earn will impact our future. We are to CHOOSE WISELY, and to do that, we also need to understand The THEOLOGY of MONEY.

MEMORY VERSE
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
MATTHEW 6:19-21
