Bible has lots to say about finances
· Bible has tremendous amount to say about it
· NT: 215 verses on Faith; 218 on salvation; 2084 verses on money and finances
Why so many verses?
· Was Jesus a money grubber?
· Jesus came for mone??
· No—he wasn’t after money—he was after people’s HEARTS
· He’s not interested in your money—but interested in your heart
· Why so many verses
Matt 6:21
· Treasure—heart
· Jesus found a lot of people carry an awful lot of treasure in their money
o So if He could touch their money
o He could touch their hearts
· Jesus isn’t after money—but after touching your hearts
· Jesus is after touching what’s in people’s hearts
· After touching their hearts
· What’s in people hearts—capture their hearts
· 16 of Jesus’ 38 parables about money and finance
· When God talks about finances—money
o He cares about your need
o What matters most is your heart
Matt 6:24
· *Mammon*
· What is mammon?
· One translation—‘money’
· I heard most of life—mammon means money
Jesus sets these two things as opposites
· God and Mammon
· If you do have something do to with Mammon you are not serving God
If Mammon means money—then the logical conclusion—MONEY is anti-God
· Logical conclusion: you should have nothing to do with money
Logical conclusion
· I shouldn’t have any—Monks—vow of poverty
· Logical conclusion—money is evil
