Proverbs: Money (Part 2)

Proverbs
ProverbsSteve Gregg

In this discussion, Steve Gregg explores the subject of money through the lens of Proverbs. He emphasizes that while desiring material wealth is not inherently wrong, it is important to prioritize maintaining peace, love, integrity and a clear conscience. Gregg stresses the importance of hard work and warns against the pitfalls of laziness, as it can lead to poverty and negative consequences for society as a whole. Overall, he reinforces the idea that one's behavior with money is ultimately answerable to the Lord, regardless of whether one is rich or poor.
