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 And he said to them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all greed: for a man's life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
21 And as you{} would that men should do to you{}, do{} to them likewise.
21 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and began to say to him each one, Is it I, Lord?
5 Will you set your eyes on that which is not? For [riches] certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flies toward heaven.
4 Don't weary yourself to be rich; Cease from your own wisdom.
10 He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves 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.

22 That which makes man to be desired is his kindness; And a poor man is better than a liar.

Perigos e armadilhas
Quem quer enriquecer cai em tentação. Fuja do amor ao dinheiro e busque contentamento no Senhor.

4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivers from death.
11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, And as a high wall in his own imagination.
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 I have rejoiced in the way of your testimonies, As much as in all riches.
