22 Bible Rules About Money for 2022

  If you’ve never read the Bible or if you are new to reading and applying the Bible to yo u r business, you may find it more confusing than helpful. When I first started applying the Bible to my entrepreneurial ventures, I was a bit confused. Then again, I was a kid who was still in High School. Non-the-less, because I had no direction from a Bible-based mentor, I made many mistakes and went in the wrong direction a few times. I was trying to define my relationship with money using the Holy Bible when I didn’t have a strong enough relationship with the Word of God. Not understanding the Bible gave me the wrong impression about a Christian’s relationship with money. The Holy Scripture makes many powerful statements about the stewardship of wealth, and about our relationship with money.

Collection Plate Churches Often Go Broke

  The days of passing the collection plate around in order to fund a church and it’s outre a ch projects are long behind us. As a matter of fact, the churches that are constantly and vocally asking their members for money are simply losing membership to other seemingly well funder churches that do not focus so much on constantly harassing their members to give. My wife and I are members of a church that has never passed a collection plate out in front of us and yet the members of the church go above and beyond the tithe weekly. That being said, we all know that regardless of how noble we try to make this sound, churches need funds to function.
