Dear believers, so long as we are in this world, money is a subject that should concern us. Our daily transactions and translations require money.

We use money to buy food to eat, clothes to cover our nakedness, and build houses to shelter and shield us. And even if the world is now a global village through the efforts of technology, we still have to pay for our interest servers. And that’s just one example.

But at the same time, God does not wish for us to spend all night worrying about our material needs and be out of bed early every new day in pursuit of money. God’s will for us is riches without sorrow.

So, what does the Bible say about money? How does God want us to approach money?
