What’s Wise
Proverbs 21:20 NIV84
In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has.
Love of Money
1 Timothy 6:6-10 NIV84
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Our Culture's Definition of Happiness: MORE than I currently HAVE.
Where’s Your Treasure?
Matthew 6:19-21 NIV84
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Blessed by Tithing
Malachi 3:10 NIV84
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.
Life Without Turmoil
Proverbs 15:16 NIV84
Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil.
Better Than Money
Proverbs 8:18-19 NIV84
With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity. My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver.
