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.
5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon it? it is gone; for riches certainly make themselves wings, like an eagle that flieth toward heaven.
4 Weary not thyself to be rich; cease from thine own wisdom.
10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase; this also is vanity.
Administrar com sabedoria
Honra ao Senhor com as tuas primícias. O sábio administra seus recursos com prudência e visão de eternidade.
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase;
22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and toil addeth nothing thereto.
2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; but righteousness delivereth from death.
11 Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; but he that gathereth little by little shall increase.
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! yea, to get understanding is rather to be chosen than silver.
1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
16 Better is little with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure and turmoil therewith.
22 The lust of a man is his shame; and a poor man is better than a liar.
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with mine allotted bread;
Perigos e armadilhas
Quem quer enriquecer cai em tentação. Fuja do amor ao dinheiro e busque contentamento no Senhor.
4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death.
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as a high wall in his own conceit.
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.
14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of Thee, and of Thine own have we given Thee.
16 Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
