Bankruptcies Credit card debts Thousands in interest

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. (1 Timothy 6:9-10, ESV)
Fraud Lying, cheating Bad stewardship
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs. (1 Timothy 6:9-10, ESV)
For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. (Ephesians 5:5, ESV)
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. (Colossians 3:5, ESV)
And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Mt. 19:23-26, ESV)
A. Lay up treasure in heaven, not on the earth
1) Win over moth, rust, thieves, inflation, and gov’t
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for
yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do
not break in and steal. (Matthew 6:19-20, ESV)
A. Lay up treasure in heaven, not on the earth
1) Win over moth, rust, thieves, inflation, and gov’t
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is
imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,
(1 Peter 1:3-4, ESV)
A. Lay up treasure in heaven, not on the earth
1) Win over moth, rust, thieves, inflation, and gov’t
2) Keep heart by keeping treasure in right place
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:21, ESV)
But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you
endured a hard struggle with sufferings, sometimes being publicly
exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with
those so treated. For you had compassion on those in prison,
and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since
you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding
one. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great
reward. (Hebrews 10:32-35, ESV)
As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be
haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of
riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. They are to do good, to
be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, thus storing up
treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the
future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly
life. (1 Timothy 6:17-19, ESV)
A. Lay up treasure in heaven, not on the earth
B. Keep your eye good
“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole
body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the
darkness! (Matthew 6:22-23, ESV)
A. Lay up treasure in heaven, not on the earth
B. Keep your eye goodC. Make God your Master
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
(Matthew 6:24, ESV)
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires
that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is

pangs. (1 Timothy 6:9-10, ESV)
