"Money, Money, Money..." 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Saving Up for a Rainy Day ! Home, sweet home ! Your Will, Your Crowning Act ! Well done, good and faithful servant ! The Endtime Adventist Family ! Satan's GOLDEN Chain BORN FREE!
With acknowledgement and honour to our Heavenly Father for the wisdom and insight granted to G. Edward Reid, former Stewardship Ministries Director, North-American Division, whose series Your Finances in Changing Times as well as It s Your Money, Isn t It? laid the foundation for the Money, Money, Money ! seminar.
Satan's GOLDEN Chain
1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Steps to Christ p.44 The love of money, the desire for wealth, is the golden chain that binds (men) to Satan.
5 MR 255 It should be our highest aim in life to get ready for heaven.
THE BIBLE and MONEY - 2/3 of Jesus parables deals with money / possessions - 2000 references on money found in the Bible - 500 reference on faith found in the Bible - All 15 Kingdom parables deals with money / possessions
The Camp of the Israelites and The Camp of the Philistines
John 17:15-17 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
Love not the world ! What does the world offer us ?
World Economic Conditions 2 Timothy 3:1-5 But know this that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud
Escalating Bankruptcies James 5:3,4 Your gold and silver are corroded, You have heaped up treasure in the last days. Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out
Testimonies vol. 9 p13 There are not many, even among educators and statesmen, who comprehend the causes that underlie the present state of society
9T 13 (Continue) Those who hold the reins of government are not able to solve the problem of moral corruption, poverty, pauperism, and increasing crime
9T 13 (Continue) They are struggling in vain to place business operations on a more secure basis. If men would give more heed to the teaching of God s word, they would find a solution of the problems that perplex them.
Where should I invest my money ?
Testimonies Vol. 6, p.448 There are only two places in the world where we can deposit our treasures - in God s storehouseor in Satan s, and all that is not devoted to Christ s service is counted on Satan s side and goes to strengthen his cause.
(The Devils Workers Meeting) Testimonies to Ministers, p 473,474 Go make the possessors of lands and money drunk with the cares of this life. Present the world before them in its most attractive light, that they may lay up their treasure here and fix their affections upon earthly things
TM.473-4 (Continued ) We must do our utmost to prevent those who labour in God s cause from obtaining means to use against us. Keep the money in our ranks. The more means they obtain, the more they will injure our kingdom by taking from us our subjects
TM.473-474 (Continued) Make them care more for money than for the up building of Christ s kingdom and the spread of the truths we hate, and we need not fear their influence; for we know that every selfish, covetous person will fall under our power, and will finally be separated from God s people.
SATANS STRATEGY The Target- Owners and Possessors The Aim- Shift Focus: Invest in the World The Method- Prevent Funds From Leaking The Danger- The Three Angel s Message The Result- Eternal Separation
Christ Object Lessons p.351 Money has great value because it can do great good But money is of no more value than sand, only as it is put to use - In providing for the necessities of life, - In blessing others, - And advancing the cause of Christ.
Testimonies Vol.3 p.387 Practical benevolence will give spiritual life to thousands of nominal professors of the truth. It will transform them from selfish, covetous worshipers of mammon to earnest, faithful co-workers with Christ in the salvation of sinners.
Christ Object Lessons p.351 Some think that only a portion of their means is the Lord s. When they have set apart a portion for religious and charitable purposes, they regard the remainder as their own, to be used as they see fit. But in this they mistake. All we possess is the Lord s and we are accountable to Him for the use we make of it.
