A Biblical Philosophy of Money:

1. God is the one who gives [someone] the ability to make money.

2. Everything we have belongs to God.

3. There are many things which are more valuable than gold.

4. Covetousness, discontentment, and worry about material things are sins.

5. God expects us to use fully the strengths and abilities He has given us in hard, honest work.

6. Giving to the Lord and to needy people is a privilege and an investment as well as a responsibility.

7. We ought to plan how we will make and spend our money.

8. We ought to live within our income and not make debts which may be almost impossible to pay.
