MoneyWise
What is MoneyWise?
Many of us struggle to surrender our finances to God's wisdom and direction, sometimes resulting in severe consequences to lives and relationships. The Bible is clear that there is a direct correlation between a person's relationship to material things and their relationship to God. In fact, money is the chief rival god in most people's lives, as it can steal our hearts from God (Matthew 6:21). Jesus taught that we cannot serve both God and money (Matthew 6:24), and that concern over things of this world and the deceitfulness of riches can choke out God's word in our lives (Matthew 13:22).
Fortunately, the Bible offers a tremendous amount of insight into God's heart on this issue, as there are over 2,300 scriptures that deal with money and possessions, more than almost any other topic. MoneyWise is here to help you understand how biblical wisdom can aply to this area of your life. Our team of trained volunteers is eager to assist anyone in learning how to apply practical, usable techniques for handling what God has entrusted to us.
