Let's Learn What the Bible Says About Money!

So many times as Christians, we like to think that we're not supposed to think or care about money. Looking into scripture, that's not necessarily true, so what does the bible say about money? Scripture is clear that we cannot love both God and money (Matthew 6:24), but it does point to how we should be good stewards of money. There is a BIG difference!

This blog, I decided to just list some scripture that points to what the Bible says about money and giving.

Matthew 6:24

²⁵When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
