1. My Part Financial Responsibility & Stewardship According to the Bible DEUTERONOMY 8:17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

2. PERSEVERANT 197 But my gift comes from God, 'cause I love Him. And this I believe, "gifts and callings are without repentance." They're predestinated of God. They're each generation. And my part in this was to that Word, for It to live again, become the Word to discern and know. That's prophetic, which is promised according to Malachi 4, to be in this day, makes us perfectly in the last day. 64-0619 1-30-2019 My Part 2

3. HUMBLE.THYSELF 90 We want to keep it (church) running smoothly, sweetly, and in order of the Lord. So just remember, that your part may be the mainspring, or it may be some little hand, or little part, the winding stem, whatever it may be, or it may be the hands on the face of the clock, that tells the time. But whatever it is, it takes us all working together in harmony with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to bring this to pass. 63-0714 1-30-2019 My Part 3

4. 84 "What must we do? I said, "Find a man to be the shepherd that has no reputation in denomination, just a real good, genuine, sweet, humble brother that lives the life. God will take care of the rest of it. A good pastor that'll just feed the sheep, and be humble and things, God will do the rest. Not some big know-it-all's coming in, going to put this in order, and this has to be this way, and cutting things around. It'll never work." 86 That's it, every piece in the church must work together, and you must keep up your part of it. 1-30-2019 My Part 4

5. I TIMOTHY 6:8-10 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1-30-2019 My Part 5

6. III JOHN 1:1-4 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 1-30-2019 My Part 6

7. I TIMOTHY 6:17-19 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 1-30-2019 My Part 7

8. WORLD.IS.AGAIN.FALLING.APART 75 Like a whole lot like our denomin- ations of today, our denominations are looking for a superman. Our nation is looking for a superman. Russia is looking for a superman. The eastern world is looking for one. The U.N. is looking for one. The churches are looking for one. But what kind of a one are they looking for? 63-1127 1-30-2019 My Part 8

9. HEBREWS 13:5-6 5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Covetousness: (Gr.) greedy desire to have more, covetousness, avarice. 1-30-2019 9 My Part

10. HEBREWS 13:5-6 5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Content: (Gr.) a perfect condition of life in which no aid or support is needed, sufficiency of the necessities of life, a mind contented with its lot. 1-30-2019 My Part 10

11. INVESTMENTS 56 Another thing. Don't keep your money in your pocket. Somebody will steal it from you after while... Jesus taught the same thing. When you got a talent, don't hide it. Got to put it to use, growing. So, remember, if you've got something to invest, invest it in something that's good, that's real, been proven that'll pay off, some good, reliable, identified firm that has been proven to pay off, in the past. It's got a name behind it. Even if you have to take it slower, coming up, your dividends are smaller. 63-0126 1-30-2019 My Part 11

12. Two Simple Rules for Investments: 1. All investments are not Equal. 2. Never put your primary residence at risk with an investment. 1-30-2019 My Part 12

13. INVESTMENTS 47 Good businessman, knows better than to gamble. Don't gamble; you're going to lose. You can't win, gambling. You're a pauper one time, a rich man the next, then back a pauper again. Gambling is a disease. It's just an evil spirit. And it gets onto people, sometime, in mild form. 51 There's a pattern laid down, a definite thing, and It doesn't belong in any certain group of people. It's God's Word. Don't gamble on That. Now, don't take chances. 1-30-2019 My Part 13

14. And another thing I notice A man get a hold of a little money, and then he'll try to invest it in some kind of a get-rich- overnight, some unidentified business. You'll lose the shirt off your back... Don't you try that. It never pays off. 63-0126 1-30-2019 My Part 14

20. LIFE.STORY Happiness doesn't consist of how much of the world's goods you own, but how contented you are with the portion that has been 'lotted to you. Just make yourself contented as long as one thing that brings contentment, and that alone, is Jesus Christ. 53-1108 1-30-2019 My Part 20

21. Graduation Statistics 10 years after graduation, 80% of college graduates are working in something totally unrelated to their college major. 1-30-2019 My Part 21

22. ECCLESIASTES 5:10-11 10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. 11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes? 1-30-2019 My Part 22

23. PSALM 34:14 (a) Depart from evil, and (b) do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 1-30-2019 My Part 23

24. Shalom & Shalem Whole, complete, in total. GENESIS 34:20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying, 21 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters. 22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised. 1-30-2019 My Part 24

25. Abraham: A.TIME.OF.DECISION 17 He (Eliezer) gave her (Rebekah) bracelets, and so forth, and told her the story. The only thing that she had was the story of Abraham's servant. So just, faith cometh by hearing. She heard that Abraham had a son that was heir to all things that Abraham had. And these little tokens was just a little bitty thing, just a little symbol of the great wealth that Abraham had, that his son was going to fall heir to all of it. And she believed the story. 59-0418 1-30-2019 My Part 25

26. Jacob: GENESIS 30:30-32 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also? 31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock: 32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the 1-30-2019 goats: and of such shall be my hire. My Part 26

27. ADOPTION.2 204 We find the Manassas over here, say, "Oh, my, the Lord's give me a good cornfield." Gad, said, "Well, now, now, wait a minute. I'm supposed to raise oats, but I'm going to get corn too. Hallelujah." You ain't got nothing to do with corn; get oats; oats is your part to raise. You ain't supposed to herd sheep when you're supposed to herd cattle. God wants to place the church. But every one of them wants to do the same thing. "Hallelujah." You can't tell them a thing about it. 60-0518 1-30-2019 My Part 27

28. 1. Keep God First! Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. MALACHI3:8-11 1-30-2019 My Part 28

29. The average American worker will earn at least $2,000,000 in an average working lifetime. None of us plan to fail, but we fail to plan! 1-30-2019 My Part 29

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

34. The Mighty Conqueror Not long ago during the depression, it was easy to find people at a prayer meeting. But now that they can work in the defense plants, and the union gives them so much money that they hardly know what to do with, you have to almost persuade them to a meeting. The people doesn't want preaching any more. You get somebody to come up here and act a clown, and this auditorium would pack out the first night.... The people wants entertainment and not the Gospel. 1-30-2019 My Part 34

35. Savings in America In a sign that Americans spending habits are shifting, household debt fell for the first time ever, based on data going back to 1952.
