Money . ( Luke 6 v 38 )

Money,money,money,we all need money, it is important to treat it with respect,we are not meant to love money ( 1 Timothy 6 v 10 ), when it comes to money ,we are to act responsibly, Joyce Meyer had three rules as regards money, spend ,give, save. A lot of people would save save themselves a lot of  pain, and trouble if they followed  those  rules. As regards giving,there are so many  needs in this world ,we just cannot give to them all, but we should give to some,as God as we are able .My wife and I set a certain portion of money aside every month,to give as God directs us. But of course it is not rigid ,if we see homeless people , or we see or hear of a need, if we can we should give. It saddens me when I hear of church leaders going on about money all the time, they are not to milk the people of God .dry, by putting them on a guilt trip.There is nothing so sad  as church leaders exploiting their  congregation. T V evangelists are notorious for this practise, to their shame,not all of them thankfully.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         A prayer                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Dear Lord grant us all a generous spirit,                                                                                                    in relation to our money,and time,                                                                                                                           In your  name                                                                                                                                                    Amen.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        .
