The Bible and Money: What does the Bible actually say about money?

I have gained a larger audience here recently due to several of Free Money Finance’s posts of selections of my book and some guests post I have done in the Christian Finance Blogging world. With the upswing in traffic, I just wanted to take a post (outside of my normal rotation: Mon. Wed. Fri.) to say what dollarsanddoctrine.com is all about. I am committed to teaching Christ and the Bible’s impact on our financial lives, not the other way around (letting our financial beliefs influence our interpretation of Scripture). I also dabble in the realms of work, success, attitude, and related topics. I hope you find this blog to be a blessing to your walk with Christ first and foremost, and secondly, a blessing to your financial life. The purpose of this site is not just to push my book (though if you were to pick up a copy of it there would be no objections!) Thanks and God bless. I’ll leave you with this Larry Burkett quote:

“Finances are an integral part of daily living today and can affect us either positively or negatively. Through His Word, God gave us specific guidelines to direct our lives so that we can enjoy the blessings He promises us. There are more than sixteen hundred verses in the Bible that deal directly with financial situations. Only love is discussed more often than money in the New Testament, which says something about the importance of finances.” – Larry Burkett (Using Your Money Wisely)
