The only thing I was ever taught that scripture says about money is this:

"The LOVE of money is the root of all evil"

'nuff said. Now you don't have to go sit thru 3 hours of suspense just to find out.

You are welcome.

What does Scripture say about money?


It says sowed in all you hard earned cash to the TV evangelists for a hundred-fold blessing today. Don't worry about maxing out you credit card as God will send you a harvest that you cannot take it all in. See how well it has worked for the millions of people before you. All it takes for your step of faith toward your destiny is a step of faith forward toward your bank.

God’s Word says debt isn’t normal, especially long-term debt (see Deuteronomy 15:6; Psalm 37:21; Romans 13:8).

Now if you faithfully obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow all His commands I am giving you today, the LORD your God will put you far above all the nations of the earth" (Deuteronomy 28:1).

Poverty and disgrace [come to] those who ignore instruction, but the one who accepts rebuke will be honored" (Proverbs 13:18).

Precious treasure and oil are in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man consumes them" (Proverbs 21:20).

Proverbs 22:7 says: “The rich rules over the poor and the borrower becomes the lender's slave.”

There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man swallows it up” (Proverbs 21:20).

Is it possible that there is not another subject with as many verses in the bible as money? Why not hear what a Christian author has to say about how God intends money management, stewardship, freedom from bondage, etc.?
