Godly
Finances
This
is
only
a
small
part
of
what
is
available
in
the
Doctrinal
Study
called
Godly
Financial
Principals.
- Have
the
right
attitude
about
money.
- Money
is
not
good
nor
evil
but
only
a
tool.
Out
attitude
about
money
is
what
is
good
or
evil.
Please
notice
that
Paul
writes
one
thing
to
them
that
are
rich
in
this
world
(1Timothy
6:17)
and
he
writes
another
thing
to
they
that
will
be
rich
(1Timothy
6:9)
- Most
people
living
in
a
third-world
culture
are
poor
and
teach
their
children
to
remain
poor
because
they
refuse
to
let
the
Bible
correct
the
error
taught
by
their
culture.
- Proverbs
21:20
says:
There
is
treasure
to
be
desired
and
oil
in
the
dwelling
of
the
wise;
but
a
foolish
man
spendeth
it
up.
Third-world
cultures
teach
their
people
to
only
earn
what
they
are
going
to
spend
and
to
spend
what
they
earn.
Notice
that
our
verse
says
There
is
treasure
to
be
desired
and
oil
in
the
dwelling
of
the
wise
.
If
you
do
not
save
then
you
are
not
wise
.
Joseph
saved
his
world
because
he
was
wise
enough
to
save
in
time
of
plenty
so
that
he
had
in
time
of
need.
- An
attitude
that
we
don't
need
to
seek
money
is
wrong.
- Luke
12:33-37
says:
Sell
that
ye
have,
and
give
alms;
provide
yourselves
bags
which
wax
not
old,
a
treasure
in
the
heavens
that
faileth
not,
where
no
thief
approacheth,
neither
moth
corrupteth.
For
where
your
treasure
is,
there
will
your
heart
be
also.
Let
your
loins
be
girded
about,
and
your
lights
burning;
And
ye
yourselves
like
unto
men
that
wait
for
their
lord,
when
he
will
return
from
the
wedding;
that
when
he
cometh
and
knocketh,
they
may
open
unto
him
immediately.
Blessed
are
those
servants,
whom
the
lord
when
he
cometh
shall
find
watching:
verily
I
say
unto
you,
that
he
shall
gird
himself,
and
make
them
to
sit
down
to
meat,
and
will
come
forth
and
serve
them.
Our
text
says
that
God
will
call
us
blessed
if
He
finds
us
actively
serving
His
kingdom
when
He
comes
for
us.
Getting
money
to
actively
build
God's
kingdom
will
get
us
blessed.
- An
attitude
of
seeking
money
for
things
of
this
world
is
wrong.
- Matthew
6:19-21
says:
Lay
not
up
for
yourselves
treasures
upon
earth,
where
moth
and
rust
doth
corrupt,
and
where
thieves
break
through
and
steal:
But
lay
up
for
yourselves
treasures
in
heaven,
where
neither
moth
nor
rust
doth
corrupt,
and
where
thieves
do
not
break
through
nor
steal:
For
where
your
treasure
is,
there
will
your
heart
be
also.
Notice
that
it
does
not
condemn
saving
and
laying
up
for
yourselves
treasures
,
but
only
where
we
put
them.
Putting
out
treasure
in
the
flesh,
instead
of
in
heaven,
is
foolish.
Likewise,
refusing
to
put
treasure
is
Heaven
is
disobedience.
- An
attitude
of
seeking
money
for
the
purpose
of
building
God's
kingdom
is
right.
- Matthew
6:33
says:
But
seek
ye
first
the
kingdom
of
God,
and
his
righteousness;
and
all
these
things
shall
be
added
unto
you.
Where
there
is
a
first,
there
must
be
a
second.
There
is
nothing
wrong
with
seeking
money
if
it
is
for
the
purpose
of
helping
to
build
God's
kingdom
by
financially
supporting
the
church.
- Romans
16:1-2
says:
I
commend
unto
you
Phebe
our
sister,
which
is
a
servant
of
the
church
which
is
at
Cenchrea:
That
ye
receive
her
in
the
Lord,
as
becometh
saints,
and
that
ye
assist
her
in
whatsoever
business
she
hath
need
of
you:
for
she
hath
been
a
succourer
of
many,
and
of
myself
also.
Notice
that
Paul
told
this
ministry,
which
was
not
yet
a
church,
to
help
her
earn
money
for
the
purpose
of
building
the
church.
- Money
is
only
a
tool.
Our
attitude
about
it
is
what
blesses
or
curses
us.
- 1Timothy
6:10
says:
For
the
love
of
money
is
the
root
of
all
evil:
which
while
some
coveted
after,
they
have
erred
from
the
faith,
and
pierced
themselves
through
with
many
sorrows.
Money
is
not
the
root
of
all
evil
but
the
love
of
money
is
.
It
is
the
attitude.
Notice
that
this
attitude
causes
saved
people
to
err
from
the
faith,
and
pierce
themselves
through
with
many
sorrows
.
Our
love
is
to
be
God
and
the
service
to
God
with
money
only
a
tool
to
be
used
in
that
service.
- Truly
diligent
Godly
people
seek
ways
to
help
build
the
kingdom
of
God.
- Proverbs
21:5
says:
The
thoughts
of
the
diligent
tend
only
to
plenteousness;
but
of
every
one
that
is
hasty
only
to
want.
- Most
people
living
in
a
third-world
culture
are
poor
and
teach
their
children
to
remain
poor
because
they
refuse
to
let
the
Bible
correct
the
error
taught
by
their
culture.
- Proverbs
28:20
says:
A
faithful
man
shall
abound
with
blessings
If
you
cannot
provide
financial
blessings
to
God's
work
then
you
are
not
faithful
in
your
finances.
- In
all
of
these
verses
and
more
we
are
told
that
our
attitude
towards
money
will
get
us
blessings
or
cursing.
People
who
seek
money
for
what
it
provides
in
the
flesh
will
be
cursed.
However,
people
who
refuse
to
get
money
to
build
God's
kingdom
will
lose
their
blessings
and
can
actually
be
punished
by
God.
The
people
who
actively
sought
money
for
the
purpose
of
building
God's
kingdom
were
the
only
people
who
were
actually
blessed.
- Our
actions
with
money
can
cause
good
or
evil.
- In
both
the
parable
of
the
pounds
and
the
parable
of
the
talents
we
see
one
saved
person
in
heaven
who
was
cast
out
into
outer
darkness:
there
shall
be
weeping
and
gnashing
of
teeth
(Matthew
8:12;
Matthew
22:13;
Matthew
25:30;
Luke
19).
This
judgment
happens
at
the
judgment
seat
of
Christ
which
is
more
than
one
thousand
years
before
the
great
white
throne
judgment
where
God
wipes
away
all
tears
from
saved.
'No
tears
in
heaven'
is
a
lie
from
Satan.
The
judgment
seat
of
Christ
is
where
our
works
are
judged
and
people
who
have
no
works
will
have
tears
in
heaven
regardless
of
their
attitude.
Going
to
the
altar
is
not
enough.
We
must
back
our
decisions
with
actual
action.
- Philippians
4:17
says:
Not
because
I
desire
a
gift:
but
I
desire
fruit
that
may
abound
to
your
account.
The
people
in
the
church
which
supported
Paul
financially
received
fruit
in
their
heavenly
account
because
of
their
actions
in
supporting
the
ministry
of
missions.
The
people
who
did
not
earn
money
and
could
not
support
the
missionary
received
no
fruit
in
their
heavenly
account.
- 2Corinthians
5:9-11
says:
Wherefore
we
labour,
that,
whether
present
or
absent,
we
may
be
accepted
of
him.
For
we
must
all
appear
before
the
judgment
seat
of
Christ;
that
every
one
may
receive
the
things
done
in
his
body,
according
to
that
he
hath
done,
whether
it
be
good
or
bad.
Knowing
therefore
the
terror
of
the
Lord,
we
persuade
men;
but
we
are
made
manifest
unto
God;
and
I
trust
also
are
made
manifest
in
your
consciences.
If
we
work
and
use
our
money
to
help
build
ministries
(we
persuade
men
),
we
will
receive
a
reward
at
the
judgment
seat
of
Christ
.
However,
if
we
don't
do
that
then
we
will
receive
the
terror
of
the
Lord
.
- We
must
be
God's
child
first
before
we
have
a
heavenly
account
which
can
receive
fruit
for
our
future
use.
