Take God at His Word

1. Take God at His Word

2. Matthew 6:19-24 NKJV
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and rust destroy and where thieves
break in and steal; [20] but lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
destroys and where thieves do not break in and
steal. [21] For where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also. [22] "The lamp of the body is the
eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole
body will be full of light. [23] But if your eye is
bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If
therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how
great is that darkness! [24] "No one can serve two
masters; for either he will hate the one and love
the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and
despise the other. You cannot serve God and
mammon. "

3. 1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money
is a root of all kinds
of evil.

4. The reason we cannot
serve God and mammon is
that the spirit of mammon
is the direct opposite of
the spirit of God.

5. Luke 16:9-13 NKJV
"And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by
unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they
may receive you into an everlasting home. [10]
He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also
in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is
unjust also in much. [11] Therefore if you have
not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon,
who will commit to your trust the true riches?
[12] And if you have not been faithful in what is
another man's, who will give you what is your
own? [13] No servant can serve two masters; for
either he will hate the one and love the other, or
else he will be loyal to the one and despise the
other. You cannot serve God and mammon."

6. Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV
"Do not lay up for yourselves
treasures on earth, where moth
and rust destroy and where
thieves break in and steal; [20] but
lay up for yourselves treasures in
heaven, where neither moth nor
rust destroys and where thieves
do not break in and steal. [21] For
where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also."

7. When we use money
for righteous
purposes, we are
laying up treasures
in heaven.

8. Luke 16:10
He who is faithful in what is
least is faithful also in
much; and he who is unjust
in what is least is unjust
also in much.
