Book Description
As followers of Christ, how do we decide how to use the treasure that God gives us? How do we judge what to purchase and what to give to others? As we examine our own hearts on this topic, we must especially guard against self-righteousness and judging others for purchases and decisions that differ from our own. This is a daunting task and can only be done with prayer and the grace of God. This Bible study helps us look at these issues honestly in our own lives by taking a deeper look at what the Scriptures have to say. The times are different, but the values are the same. Yes, we are our brothers keeper. Yes, we are called to be good Samaritans, no matter what our nationality. Yes, we are to be prudent with the earths resources. But we are also called to be generous and at times even lavish with celebrating and honoring each other. After all, Jesus provided more wine at the wedding feast of Cana. This Bible study examines six characteristics that we need to live as good Christian stewards: providence, justice, generosity, contentment, gratitude and humility, and investing in the kingdom of God.

The Treasure Principle, Revised and Updated
Author: Randy Alcorn
Publisher: Multnomah
ISBN: 1588601226
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Discover how the joy of giving can make your life richer, starting today. Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead! Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. In The Treasure Principle, you’ll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus—a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won’t want it to be. “Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it.” - John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis

Conventional wisdom holds that money and religion are mutually exclusive: there's the popular maxim about money being the root of all evil and Jesus' admonitions about the difficulty of serving both God and Mammon or a rich man entering heaven. But Maurice Fetty notes that in Jesus' view, money and the kingdom of God are intertwined. He stresses the importance of good stewardship of God's creation, and points out that what we do with our money is indelibly linked with faithful living.
