The test of our hearts is what our possessions do to our spirits. When you hear of a genuine need in a family, individual or ministry, what does it do to you?

Do you start thinking of ways to help?

To stretch your self in such a way as to give more?
Or does it down deep offend you?

Do you simmer with a resentment at the thought of being questioned about what is yours?

One in seven words Christ spoke are about money and possessions.

Sixteen of His 38 Parables focus upon the handling of money.

Of the nearly 2,800 verses in the Four Gospels, 288 direct our use and possession of money.

Fifteen percent of the Teachings of Christ are about proper and improper handling of our stewardship.

In all the New Testament we find there are:

Over Five hundred PRAYER references

Just under 500 references to FAITH

But over 1,000 references to money and possessions.

To God and thus to us His children, Money is an important monitor that points to either Materialism or Godliness.
