33. If we don’t have as much wealth as we would like,
what should we do?
Hebrews 13:5
“Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than
great treasure and
trouble therewith.” Proverbs 15:16.
“He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with
silver; nor he that
loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
When goods increase,
they are increased that eat them: and what good is
there to the owners
thereof, saving the beholding of them with their
eyes?” Ecclesiastes
5:10, 11.
“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we
brought nothing
into this world, and it is certain we can carry
nothing out. And having
food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they
that will be rich
fall into temptation and a snare, and into many
foolish and hurtful
lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
For the love of
money is the root of all evil: which while some
coveted after, they have
erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows.
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow
after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience,
meekness.” 1 Timothy
6:6-11.
34. What should we concentrate on? And what is
promised? Matthew 6:33
In the Light of God’s Word....(Please respond YES or
NO)
I understand that God has designated the tithe for the
support of the
gospel ministry, and that a tenth of my increase
belongs to Him for that
purpose.
I understand that God also asks for freewill offerings
according as He
has blessed me, and that these offerings reveal the
condition of my heart
toward Him.
I choose to faithfully return to God His tithe and my
offerings, because
of my love for Him.
