MP3/iPod - Teaching by Brian Kluth

Don’t trust in your riches, but trust in God.

Read the following verses.  Think and pray about the verse that applies the most to your life.

Proverbs 11:28 Whoever trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like a green leaf.

1 Timothy 6:17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God.

John 14:1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God.

Job 31:24-28 (Job said) “If I have put my trust in gold or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’ if I have rejoiced over my great wealth, the fortune my hands had gained…so that my heart was secretly enticed…then these also would be sins to be judged, for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.”

Psalm 49:6-12 (Sinners) trust in their wealth and boast of great riches. Yet they cannot redeem themselves from death by paying a ransom to God. Redemption does not come so easily, for no one can ever pay enough to live forever and never see the grave. Those who are wise must finally die, just like the foolish and senseless, leaving all their wealth behind. The grave is their eternal home, where they will stay forever. They may name their estates after themselves, but they leave their wealth to others. They will not last long despite their riches—they will die like the animals.

Are you rich? Did you realize that if you personally make more than $1500 per year you are richer than 75% of the world’s 6+ billion people!

MP3/iPod - Audio true story by Brian Kluth

Firewood For A Church In Bulgaria

Years ago, I was teaching a seminar in Europe on generosity. Nik, from Bulgaria, said he learned for the first time that everyone is to give to God from whatever they have. When he got home, a church group called him and asked if he knew any rich people who could give money to their church to buy firewood to keep their church building warm. Nik asked if they had enough wood to keep their own houses warm and they said, “Yes.” He told them that if God had blessed them with firewood, they should bring some of the wood to the church. They said, “No, that’s our wood.” Nik continued, “God has already blessed you with the wood you need for your church and your homes. But you need to learn to faithfully give from whatever God has given you!” Within a few weeks, the church received a winter’s supply of wood from all the church members!
