FAM1LY (Together Tuesday)
FITNESS (Workout Wednesday)
FOCUS (Thoughtful Thursday)
FINANCE$ (Fund Friday)
From the Biblical perspective.
Are you Humble?
Are you Teachable?
Are you Coachable?
People who are humble, teachable, and coachable are always learning and growing.
If we want to learn and grow in DIVIN3FINANCE$ we first have to be humble, teachable, and coachable.
The parable of the talents ends with a very strong warning. The person who wasting their talent (which was an increment of money) is thrown into a place of weeping an gnashing of teeth (which was a metaphor for hell). However the one who is diligent and disciplined in doubling up their talent, they will be given more.
How can you grow in your area of DIVIN3FINANCE$?
How can can you double what you have?
First, be humble, teachable, and coachable then start to learn and apply what the Bible teaches about money.
The Bible teaches about giving, investing, and saving.
In this case this parable is about investing.
How are you investing your money?
How are you doubling your money for the benefit of GOD, your family and the community?
If you are not the the Bible says you are a worthless servant.
Let’s be worthy servants and dream, plan, and act upon how we can double our money for GOD’S glory, our family and the community.
Double up or give it up!
When GOD blesses us financially let’s not increase our standard of living, let’s increase the standard of our giving!
This reminds me of our motivation for growing our money is to give more of our honey!
We make more so we can give more!
Let’s invest in eternity in our giving!
Matthew 25:14-30
The Parable of the Talents
14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property.
15 To one he gave five talents,to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.
16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more.
17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more.
18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money.
19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.
20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’
21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’
22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’
23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’
24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed,
25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’
26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed?
27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest.
28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.
29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
