Dinheiro
O dinheiro é ferramenta que pode ser usada para o bem ou para o mal. A Bíblia nos ensina a administrar recursos com sabedoria, generosidade e temor ao Senhor.
Perspectiva bíblica
Guardai-vos da avareza. A vida não consiste na abundância de bens. O dinheiro é servo, nunca senhor.
15 Then he said to them,"Be careful to guard yourselves against every kind of greed, for a person's life doesn't consist of the amount of possessions he has."
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy servant! Since you have been trustworthy with a small amount, I will put you in charge of a large amount. Come and share your master's joy!’
Administrar com sabedoria
Honra ao Senhor com as tuas primícias. O sábio administra seus recursos com prudência e visão de eternidade.
Perigos e armadilhas
Quem quer enriquecer cai em tentação. Fuja do amor ao dinheiro e busque contentamento no Senhor.
9 But people who want to get rich keep toppling into temptation and are trapped by many stupid and harmful desires that plunge them into destruction and ruin.
17 Tell those who are rich in the present world not to be arrogant and not to place their confidence in anything as uncertain as riches. Instead, let them place their confidence in God, who lavishly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have, for God has said, "I will never leave you or abandon you."
Tudo vem de Deus
De ti vem tudo, e das tuas mãos to damos. Os tributos são devidos — dai a César o que é de César e a Deus o que é de Deus.
7 Pay everyone whatever you owe them—taxes to whom taxes are due, tolls to whom tolls are due, fear to whom fear is due, honor to whom honor is due.
6 This is also why you pay taxes. For rulers are God's servants faithfully devoting themselves to their work.
