Finances & Prosperity
As for the rich in this world, charge them not to be haughty,
nor to set their hopes on uncertain riches but on God who
richly furnishes us with everything to enjoy. They are to do
good, to be rich in good deeds, liberal and generous, thus
laying up for themselves a good foundation for the future,
so that they may take hold of the life which is life indeed.
1 Timothy 6:17-19 RSV
