FINANCES
But seek ye first
the Kingdom of God, & His righteousness; & all
these things shall be added unto you (Mt.6:33). 5. Tipping is a
way of loving! People judge you & how much you
appreciate them by how generous you are. 6. Money is a
good servant but a poor master. 7. He who will
not economise will have to agonise. 8. The richest
are the hardest to win & are also the poorest givers!
The poor are the most receptive & generous! 9. Every religion
in the World subsists on begging, & you could hardly
give to a better cause than ours, a cause that is saving
young people from moral, mental & physical
destruction! 10. You can't
take your money to Heaven with you, but that's about the
only place you can go without it! 11. God can
afford tips & it makes everybody happy! 12. When you
can't pay bills, you gotta cut the frills! 13. Although a
dollar is only six inches long, it is used to measure
many things. 14. A dollar may
not do as much for us as it used to, but then we don't do
as much for a dollar either. 15. The secret of
financial success is to spend what you have left after
saving, instead of saving what you have left after
spending. 16. A lot of
people go in debt just to keep up with those who already
are. 17. He is always
a slave who cannot live on little. 18. Appearances
can be deceiving; a ten-dollar bill looks the same as it
did ten years ago. 19. The trouble
with a good many cars today is that the engine won't
start & the payments won't stop. 20. It's strange
that people call money "dough"--dough sticks to
your fingers. 21. One
remarkable thing about the dollar is that when it floats,
it sinks. 22. A lot of
people just can't stand prosperity--but then, most people
don't have to. 23. Beware of
little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship. 24. The fact is,
the moment financial stability is assured, spiritual
bankruptcy is also assured.--Mahatma Gandhi 25. Wealth is not
his that has it, but his that enjoys it. 26. When money
talks, the truth is silent. 27. If your outgo
exceeds your income, then your upkeep will be your
downfall. 28. Do you spend
more than you make on things you don't need to impress
people you don't have to? 29. A little
inflation is like a little pregnancy--it keeps on
growing. 30. Dollars &
sense do not always travel together. 31. Pretending to
be rich keeps many people poor. 32. I don't know
of anything better than a woman if you want to spend
money where it will show. 33. It's not that
the gold is getting any more expensive--it's that the
money is getting worthless! 34. It's all in
how you use your riches that counts! 35. I don't mind
giving money away, but I don't like to throw it away. 36. The Lord is
very generous, but He's also a penny-pincher & wants
to make sure every one of His pennies count! 37. Debts are
unscriptural! 38. If you spend
the nickels & dimes & the little coins very
cautiously & judiciously, then God will probably
trust you with dollars & more! 39. The Lord's
servant is worth more than His money. 40. It's wrong,
dishonest & a sin to borrow money you know you can't
pay back! 41. Borrowing
without repaying is both illegal & a sin, & God
certainly will not bless you for it, & more likely
will punish you for it! 42. When you
pinch the pocketbook nerve, you pinch the most sensitive
nerve most people have. 43. So often our
policies are dictated or influenced by financial
conditions, when finances shouldn't really have much to
do with it! We ought to just obey the Lord! 44. Don't ever
make the test of anything whether it brings in money or
not. 45. Never discuss
your finances with outsiders. Never discuss specific
finances before anyone except those directly involved
& who have to know. 46. Never pay
cash for anything that you can buy on time & never
buy anything you can possibly rent or get free, & the
longer the time payments the better! 47. Your lives
are priceless & your work for the Lord is absolutely
without price! Your safety, your security, your
convenience, your health, your happiness, your comfort
& your efficiency of operation are the most important
considerations, not the cost! 48. Money
answereth all things & you'd better get used to
answering with it! Tipping pays, so just consider what
you must give a good investment. 49. A man in debt
is caught in a net. 50. A penny saved
is a penny gained. 51. Great
profits, great risks. 52. Loans &
debts make worries & frets. 53. No bees, no
honey--no work, no money. 54. God's idea is
not to share the poverty, but to share the wealth! 55. Most of you
already know the deceitfulness of riches, but poverty
won't get you anywhere, either. 56. The cheapest
thing is not always the best thing. 57. They that
preach the Gospel shall live of the Gospel! 58. When you find
yourself in a financial bind you are either: (1) not
desperate, (2) wasteful, or (3) disobedient! 59. Never get out
of the habit of pinching the pennies. 60. Watch out
about going into something for the money, instead of the
ministry. 61. Want
something aside for when you're old?--All investments in
God pay 100-fold!--10,000% 62. Finances are
one way God has of controlling us. Either He'll dry it up
or increase it, according to the way He wants us to move. 63. Money talks!
In fact, money squawks! 64. All of us are
more precious than gold & silver & jewels because
we'll last forever! 65. What's money?
God's got plenty of it! It's talent & God's children
& real workers for the Lord that are scarce! 66. The Gospel am
free, Brethren, but it costs somethin' to pipe it to ya! 67. Ask for
donations! Don't undersell the whole revolution with
cut-rate religion and bargain-counter copouts! 68. It's good to
have money & the things money can buy. But it's good,
too, to check up once in a while & make sure you
haven't lost the things money can't buy. 69. I'm all for
trying to do things the fastest, easiest, cheapest, most
efficient & fruitful way. 70. Always try to
accomplish more on less. 71. By timely
mending, save much spending. 72. The secret of
economy is to live as cheaply the first few days after
payday as you did the last few days before. 73. As the
missionary said to the rich visitor from the States,
"If there's anything else you need, just let us know
& we'll explain to you how to do without it!" 74. I don't
believe in living on credit, I don't believe in living on
borrowed money. I believe in trying to live within your
income. 75. Don't forget
to say "God bless you" when you tip someone, so
they'll be sure & give God credit! 76. The Rich are
often a greater hindrance than a help in preaching the
Word of God, because they usually want to control what
they give! 77. God is not
against riches. Some people have the wrong idea. He's not
against wealth. He's only against riches & wealth in
the hands of too few when too many don't have enough! God
thinks wealth is great, & will give you all you can
possibly stand, if you'll give it away & share it so
everybody has enough! 78. God will not
bless waste! 79. Help us to
think things through & analyse things & weigh
things & count the cost & figure out how to save
money, & not have to wait till we don't have it to
figure out how to save it. 80. What's money
& time & space to the Lord?--It's personnel He
needs! 81. Money is like
manure.--It's no good unless you spread it around. 82. The only
solution to the financial problems of the World today is
the Antichrist solution, the total abandonment of today's
World system of economics, the World monetary system,
then an establishment of his credit system. 83. A balanced
budget is when you keep your expenses within your income
& you live on what you earn. 84. We need to
save, to economise, to cut everything to the bone of
absolute essentials & necessities that we cannot do
without, & eliminate the luxuries & the little
fineries the Lord has let us enjoy for awhile. "The
days of this ignorance He winked at, but now He calls us
to repent" (Acts 17:30) & get busy & try to
economise & save money & prepare to live on less
& institute austere measures that will help us to
survive! 85. The more
people living together, the more economically they can
live! 86. Eventually
we're going to have to economise, so why not do it now?
Eventually!--Why not now? 87. If we can get
by without it then, why not get by without it now? 89. PSA.37:16 A
little that a righteous man hath is better than the
riches of many wicked. 90. PSA.37:21 The
wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous
showeth mercy, and giveth. 91. PSA.62:10 If
riches increase, set not your heart upon them. 92. PRO.11:28 He
that trusteth in his riches shall fall. 93. PRO.15:27 He
that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house. 94. PRO.22:7 The
rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to
the lender. 95. PRO.23:4
Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. 96. PRO.28:20 A
faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that
maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. 97. ECC.10:19
Money answereth all things. 98. MAT.6:19 Lay
not up for yourselves treasures upon Earth, where moth
and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through
and steal. 99. MAT.19:23
Then said Jesus unto His disciples, Verily I say unto
you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the Kingdom
of Heaven. 100. ACT.2:44,45
And all that believed were together, and had all things
common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted
them to all men, as every man had need. 101. ROM.13:8 Owe
no man anything, but to love one another. 102. 1TI.6:10 For
the love of money is the root of all evil. |
