Having the proper foundation is critical to the success of any project. That's why the wealth-building principles we share are rooted in Biblical teaching.
What is Money?
Some estimates say that the Bible contains over 2,000 verses about money. Many Biblical figures like Abraham, Job, Solomon, and David were extremely wealthy, yet their wealth was only condemned when they allowed it to turn their hearts away from God.
1 Timothy 6:10 says "...the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil..." (emphasis mine).
Money is neither inherently good nor evil, but loving money is idolatry. We must begin by seeing money for what is—a means of exchange. That's it. It's how we approach money and what we do with it that can yield positive or negative results. Wealth can be a blessing or a curse depending on the attitude of our hearts.
Proverbs 10:22—The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it.
And again,
Timothy 6:10—For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
We must be careful never to place our trust in money, but to remember that it is the Lord who provides for our needs.
Trust in the Lord: Psalm 20:7
Do not worry: Matthew 6:26-34
The Lord provides: Genesis 22:14
While the strategies and concepts we teach provide a proven path to financial prosperity, our goal is much greater than creating wealthy clients. We seek to promote abundance in all aspects of life. Keep these foundational Biblical truths in mind as you learn more about building generational wealth.
