Luke 169-15

The Worlds Way
Earn our money.
Enjoy it - usually over-enjoy it. (debt!)
Repay debt from our overspending.
Save for future needs.
Give, if when anything is left.
3
Citizens share the resources of the King.
For I was hungry and you gave me something to
eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to
drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I
needed clothes and you clothed me...
Matthew 2535,36a
4
The King always rewards secret deeds.
When you give to the needy, do not let your left
hand know what your right hand is doing, so that
your giving may be in secret. Then your Father,
who sees what is done in secret, will reward
you. Matthew 63,4
5
The King repays citizens for giving to the poor.
When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the
crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be
blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will
be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.
Luke 1413,14
6
Generosity is never measured by amounts.
I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put
more into the treasury than all the others. They
gave out of their wealth but she, out of her
poverty, put in everything all she had to live
on. Mark 1243,44
7
Money is false wealth and a test.
So if you have not been trustworthy in handling
worldly wealth, who will trust you with true
riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with
someone elses property, who will give you
property of your own? Luke
1611,12

The Lords Way
Give to the Lord first.
Save for future needs.
Repay debts.
Enjoy it, without overspending.
Earn our money.
