Money Without God In It
INTRO.
Consider this a lesson on safety. Moral safety! Shop safety doesn't mean the machines are evil. Neither is money in itself. The condition of your heart will determine it's outcome. God desires your prosperity, but only within biblical parameters. A godly person will not be adversely affected by wealth. Every time wealth is spoken of negatively in the Bible, it is in connection to ungodliness. The following only applies to those who do not include God in their finances, whether saved or unsaved.Mat 19:23-26
