Money and the Bible

I believe you have heard this saying that the Bible talks more about money in the Bible than Heaven and hell put together. This is true and on the web, bloggers have been written on this. One good source of this list can be found in this article by christianpf. If you like to research on the word directly, you can go to BibleGateway.

Some of the verses (promises) that I am putting it to memory and declaring it are:

Budgeting
Proverbs 6:6-8 Go to the ant, sluggard; consider her ways and be wise; who having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provides her food in the summer and gathers her food in the harvest.

Contentment
Matthew 6:31-33 “Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ “For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Debt Scripture
Proverbs 22:7 The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.

Romans 13:8 Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

Investing Strategy
Proverbs 13:11 Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow.

Proverbs 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, but everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.

Giving
Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.


There are many others, do search for them. With them, act by declaring them on your life, live a life of obedience to His word and delight in the Lord.

Have a blessed day.

Why buy a used car?

It's been some weeks since I have updated this blog. The last few weeks had been interesting. The global financial shaking as well as the change in the certain political issues have had some effect in the altitude of how people are spending their money. In a way, the equities are now getting into value and some in bargain.

Due to the growing family, I been looking at the used car market to evaluate a certain model that I am interested in. Prices of used cars are now attractive. Only thing is my own car is also lower in evaluation and I bought it new. Will probably change the car when it's worn out in a couple of years or when there is a major catalyst.

For those interested to find out some supporting facts of buying a used car, I have included some websites that I been reading.
