a get-rich-scheme…

now the bible teaches the value of making money honestly.  the bible says in proverbs 13.11 (niv), wealth from gambling quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows.

what is gambling?  a get-rich-scheme.  in the book of proverbs, at lease six or seven times, scripture teaches us don’t get involved in get rich quick schemes.  easy come, easy go.  you make it quick, you’ll lose it quick.

proverbs 14.23 (niv), hard work brings a profit; mere talk leads to poverty.

over and over again in scripture, the bible teaches the value of hard work.  it is a legitimate honest way to increase your income by making money honestly through work.  if you talk all the time, dream, plan-get-rich-quick schemes you’re not going to prosper in life.  GOD approves of work as a means to wealth.

proverbs 14.23, in the niv says, work brings profit, talk brings poverty.  proverbs 11.16 in the today's english version, lazy people will never have money, but aggressive people will get rich.

what matters to GOD is not so much how much money you have made but how you make it.  now there is no set limit to the amount of money you make.

just a thought from the front porch…
