Own Nothing
Treasure Principle KEYSYou can’t take it with you – but you can send it on ahead.
God owns everything. I’m His money manager.We are the managers of the assets God has entrusted – not given – to us.
My heart always goes where I put God’s money.Watch what happens when you reallocate your money
from temporal things to eternal things.
Heaven, not earth, is my home.We are citizens of a “a better country – a heavenly one.”
(Hebrews 11:16)
I should live not for the dot but for the line.From the dot – our present life on earth – extends a line
that goes on forever, which is eternity in heaven.
Giving is the only antidote to materialism.Giving is a joyful surrender to a greater person and a greater agenda.
It dethrones me and exalts Him.
God prospers me not to raise my standard of living, but to raise my standard of giving.
God gives us more money than we need so we can give – generously.
The Treasure Principle, Randy Alcorn Multnomah Publishers, Inc. 2001
Proverbs 8:10, 11 Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold. For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with it.
Proverbs 15:16 Better to have little, with fear for the LORD, than to have great treasure and inner turmoil.
Proverbs 16:8 Better to have little, with godliness, than to be rich and dishonest.
Proverbs 16:16 How much better to get wisdom than gold, and good judgment than silver!
Proverbs 13:11 Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.
Proverbs 28:19 A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty.
Proverbs 18:11 The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense; they imagine it to be a high wall of safety.
Proverbs 21:17 Those who love pleasure become poor; those who love wine and luxury will never be rich.
Proverbs 22:2 The rich and poor have this in com-mon: The LORD made them both.
Proverbs 28:6 Better to be poor and honest than to be dishonest and rich.
Proverbs 1:19 Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life.
Proverbs 23:4 Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit.
Proverbs 19:1 Better to be poor and honest than to be dishonest and a fool.
Proverbs 3:5, 6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
Proverbs 11:26 People curse those who hoard their grain, but they bless the one who sells in time of need.
Proverbs 11:28 Trust in your money and down you go! But the godly flourish like leaves in spring.
Proverbs 19:14 Fathers can give their sons an inheri-tance of houses and wealth, but only the LORD can give an understanding wife.
Proverbs 3:27 Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.
Proverbs 11:25 The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
Proverbs 19:17 If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD— and he will repay you!
Proverbs 3:9, 10 Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.
Proverbs 22:1 Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.
Proverbs 30:7-9 O God, I beg two favors from you; let me have them before I die. First, help me never to tell a lie. Second, give me neither poverty nor riches! Give me just enough to satisfy my needs. For if I grow rich, I may deny you and say, “Who is the Lord?” And if I am too poor, I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.
