Proverbs 23:4

“Do not toil to acquire wealth…”

Wealth as an “end”

Fool’s gold

Elusive

Vanity

How much is enough?

How much allows you to get rid of fear and gain peace?

How much do you pass down?

What amount helps and what amount hurts and sabotages their future work ethic?

Our lifestyle now? What is getting distorted in them, what is blessing them?

Does an increase in accumulated wealth make me more dependent on God or less?

Wealth as a “means”, well stewarded

A means toward a different end

Giving, Blessing, Building, Investing to the Glory of God and good of others

Held loosely

Your heart grows in gratitude and accepted responsibility as your wealth accumulates

Your definition of sacrifice expands proportionally with what God’s entrusting to you

A beautiful thing A beautiful responsibility

Make money. A bunch of it. God has gifted you to turn dimes into dollars

But don’t lose your soul, that’s God’s warning

It’s fleeting, another of God’s warnings

You can lose it quicker than you made it, another God warning

Give ridiculously yet wisely

Trust Him not it

Grindforth!
