For the Love of Money

[Rollo Tamasi]

Let's face it.
You all love money.
You love having money, you love spending money, you love all that money can do for you.
Don't you ask God for more money?
Don't you want more money?
Come on, tell the truth, who wants more money?

 

[Gary]

That's a pretty wide brush you're using there.

There is an advantage to renting.When something breaks you call the management company and tell them to fix it.I have moved 5 times in 10 years.I have had some very expensive things break in the houses.Also you do not have to pay property taxes which can be thousands but.....it is not an investment.The owner to the house is getting the benefit.It is money in the bank to own a home.

[Rollo Tamasi]

Okay, let's face it.
Kathi and Jason and Reba all just said they want more money.
Only Gary didn't say he wanted more money.
Come on Gary, don't you want more money?
Let's pray.
Lord, none of us are greedy but we all want more money.
We have our reasons and we believe we will make good use of it.
I pray now now that you will bless us all with more money and that you will lead us to use it wisely.

you pay it. here rent for a hundred year old home that is an has been owned for a long time with no mortage payments for the owner will be not much lower then my p&I. I don't pay over 500 bucks a year for property taxes. I don't live in a liberal state. its a swing state , yes but not like the west or north east of this nation.

I pray this in your holy name Jesus, amen!

did I say that? so im greedy for wanting to work ONE job? to be in a position where I can leave the national guard?

 

[Rollo Tamasi]

Really?
Money is not a bad thing.
I think we should pray for what we want and then receive that gift with grace.
When God gives it to us, he will look to see what we do with it.

God is blessing me right now.
Some may see me as poor but I know I am extremely rich.
It's an attitude.
I share with the needy like most others do not.
I love doing it and these people thank God for it.

God has put it in my heart.
I know now that praying for more money would simply mean that God would put more people in need in my life.

 

[Kathi]

I think we need to pray for what we need not what we want.There is quite a difference. Didn't God say he would provide for our needs?Not give us a BMW if we pray for it.So if God Blesses me with more than I need then.....thank you Lord.

 

[jasonc]

a bmw would far cheaper for claudya then a ford.

 

[Kathi]

a bmw would far cheaper for claudya then a ford.

Of course.But you couldn't give me a Ford.

1 Timothy 6
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

God is blessing me right now.
Some may see me as poor but I know I am extremely rich.
It's an attitude.

Matthew 6
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

God has put it in my heart.
I know now that praying for more money would simply mean that God would put more people in need in my life.

Matthew 19
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

[Edward]

I don't want to be rich. I pray for, not for for riches, but not for poverty. I am content. Sometimes during tight times and I am feeling like I'd like to have more money, I think about the real poor in the world and that makes me feel rich so I feel better.

 

[reba]

move over Gary..
at 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Mat 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Mat 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Mat 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
