“We’re more interested in your soul than your pocketbook -- but because we’re interested in your soul, we have to talk about your pocketbook.”

- Pastor Michael Ross

> Six Money Mistakes:

* Forgetting that God owns it all
* Spending more than you take in
* Spending money just because you have it
* Borrowing for luxury or highly depreciating items
* Buying into get-rich-quick schemes
* Refusing to become a giver


> God’s way: Manage wisely and trust God to provide

“We are to be absolutely clear about the venomous nature of money. But rather than reject it we are to conquer it and use it for noneconomic purposes. Money is to be captured, subdued, and used for greater goals. We are called to use money to advance the kingdom of God.”
- Richard Foster, Money, Sex and Power
