Proverbs: Money (Part 1)

ProverbsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg explores the idea of money and possessions in the book of Proverbs. He highlights the dangers of materialism and the importance of using money in a way that honors God. He also discusses the biblical concept of an "evil eye" versus a "good eye," which refers to generosity versus greed. While having money is not inherently wrong, Gregg cautions against putting too much trust in it, as it is unpredictable and temporary. Instead, he encourages listeners to focus on building a loving home and maintaining a clear conscience. Ultimately, he argues that meditating on God's word can lead to a deeper understanding of wealth and success.
