Teaching about Money and Possessions
Proverbs 11:44Riches won't help on the day of judgment,
but right living can save you from death.
Proverbs 22:11Choose a good reputation over great riches;
being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.
Proverbs 30:88First, help me never to tell a lie.
Second, give me neither poverty nor riches!
Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.
Jeremiah 17:1111Like a partridge that hatches eggs she has not laid,
so are those who get their wealth by unjust means.
At midlife they will lose their riches;
in the end, they will become poor old fools.
