DAY #20 BIBLE TRUTH & VERSES

MP3/iPod - Teaching by Brian Kluth

Beware of greed, hoarding

or selfishness in your life.

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

Luke 12:15-21 (Jesus said) “Real life is not measured by how much we own.” And he gave an illustration: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. In fact, his barns were full to overflowing. So he said, `I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store everything. And I’ll sit back and say to myself, My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!’ “But God said to him, `You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get it all?’ “Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.”

James 5:1-3 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.

2 Corinthians 9:6-7 Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

There are no pockets in a shroud and no U-hauls behind a hearse.

God is going to have to take some people to heaven feet first, because they keep trying to hold onto everything they have here on earth.

MP3/iPod - Audio true story by Brian Kluth

Bank Failures Leads To Increased Giving

One day I received an e-mail from a pastor in Mongolia. The banks in his country had failed, and people and churches were going through times of tremendous financial turmoil. He asked if there was any way I could help. I e-mailed him a version of my 40 Day Spiritual Journey to a More Generous Life Bible devotional that takes people through 400 Scripture verses and 40 biblical principles to help them learn how to manage their finances and giving. They translated the generosity devotional into Mongolian and gave a copy to all 1,100 believers in their church to prayerfully read through the devotional in their personal and family devotions for 40 days. He wrote back a few months later; the book had been a help to everyone and the church’s giving had increased nearly 60%.
