Luke 12:13-15
“Someone in the crowd said to him,
"Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
Jesus replied, "Man, who appointed me a
judge or an arbiter between you?" Then he said to them, "Watch out!
Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in
the abundance of his possessions."
Hebrews
13:5
“Keep your lives free from the love of money
and be content with what you have, because God has said,
"Never will I leave you; never will I
forsake you."
“Many times a day I realize how
much my inner and outer life is built upon the labors of my fellow man both
living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in
return as much as I have received.”

Deuteronomy 8:17
Luke 11:23
"He who is not with me is against me,
and he who does not gather with me, scatters.”
Joshua
24:14-15
"Now fear the LORD and serve him with
all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the
River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. But if serving the LORD seems
undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,
whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the
Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will
serve the LORD."
Luke 12:19-21
“And I'll say to myself, "You have
plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be
merry." '
"But God said to him, `You fool! This
very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have
prepared for yourself?'
"This is how it will be with anyone who
stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God."
James 4:13-17
“ Now listen, you who say, "Today or
tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business
and make money." Why, you do not
even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that
appears for a little while and then vanishes.
Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live
and do this or that. "As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is
evil. Anyone, then, who knows the good
he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.”
