A. From a Heart of Love
Quote: "Where there is no interest, there is no investment"
Quote: “Material possessions tend to focus one’s thoughts and interests on the world only. Wealth gradually enslaves those who are attached to it and perverts their values. The more we have, the easier it is to be possessed by our possessions, comforts, and recreations.” – Kent Hughes
B. From A Heart of Service
1. If We Love God - We Will Serve Him

Quote: “Money can quickly become an end in itself rather than a means to godly ends.” – Gene Getz

Quote: “Here I am in the twilight years of my life, still wondering what it's all about. I can tell you this: fame and fortune is for the birds.” –Lee Iacoca
A. Seek His Kingdom
Quote: "The last days of our life should be spent giving thought as to how much we can give, not how much we can keep." – Lheman Strauss
Conclusion

Quote: “God will use money to strengthen our trust in Him. It is often through money that God can clearly and objectively show us that He is God and in control of everything.” – Larry Burkett
