HANDLING RICHES



As a man was passing out of a church he met an old acquaintance whom he had not seen for several years.

In their brief conversation, he said to his acquaintance: "I understand you are in great danger."

It was said seriously & was heard with surprise. The friend addressed was not aware of any danger & eagerly inquired what was meant.

The answer was: "I have been informed that you are getting rich."

1 Tim 6:17 (NLT): “Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.”

“Riches and the things that are necessary in life are not evil in themselves. And all of us face cares and troubles in this life. The sin comes in the time and energy we spend in pursuing these things, at the expense of neglecting Christ.” -  David Wilkerson.
