| WORK |
1Thes 4:11-12
11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to
work with your own hands, as we commanded
you;
12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
II Th 3:10-12
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you,
that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not
at all, but are busybodies.
12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
1 Tim 5:3-8
3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety
at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before
God.
5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth
in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for
those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
Prov 6:6-8
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
Prov 20:13
13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt
be satisfied with bread.

PRIORITIES |
Matt 19:16-24
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall
I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one,
that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt
not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up:
what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast,
and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and
follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had
great possessions.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man
shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of
a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Prov 24:27
27 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and
afterwards build thine house.
Prov 23:4-8
4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine
own wisdom.
5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make
themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,
neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and
drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet
words.
Matt 13:18-23
18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then
cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This
is he which received seed by the way side.
20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth
the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when
tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is
offended.
22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the
word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness
of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word,
and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an
hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
| STEWARDSHIP |
Matt 25:14-28
14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who
called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to
every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same,
and made them other five talents.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his
lord's money.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with
them.
20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five
talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have
gained beside them five talents more.
21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast
been faithful over a few things, I will
make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst
unto me two talents: behold, I have gained
two other talents beside them.
23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been
faithful over a few things, I will make
thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee
that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering
where thou hast not strawed:
25 And I was afraid, and went and
hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there
thou hast that is thine.
26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou
knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten
talents.

| PAY YOUR BILLS! |
Prov 3:27-28
27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of
thine hand to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give;
when thou hast it by thee.
Prov 6:1-3
1 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with
a stranger,
2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of
thy mouth.
3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of
thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

| NO CHEATING! |
Prov 11:1
1 A false balance is abomination to the
LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
Prov 16:11
11 A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
Prov 20:23
23 Divers weights are an abomination unto
the LORD; and a false balance is not good.

| DEBT |
Rom 13:8
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one
another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Matt 5:34-37
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's
throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is
the city of the great King.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair
white or black.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more
than these cometh of evil.
Prov 22:26-29
26 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for
debts.
27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under
thee?
28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he
shall not stand before mean men.
Prov 22:16
16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to
the rich, shall surely come to want.

| TAXES | |
Matt 22:17-21
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto
Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye
hypocrites?
19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto
Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
Rom 13:1-7
1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but
of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and
they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then
not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise
of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is
evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister
of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for
conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers,
attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to
whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
| CONTRIBUTION |
1 Cor 16:1-3
1 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the
churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
2 Upon the first day of the week let every
one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered
him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
3 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I
send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

| CONCLUSIONS |
Eccl 5:18-19
18 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely
for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour
that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God
giveth him: for it is his portion.
19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him
power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
Eccl 9:10-11
10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy
might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor
wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is
not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise,
nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but
time and chance happeneth to them all.
