Managing My Resources Wisely (6 of 7)
Series: Biblical Money Management
Frank Damazio
Introduction: God evaluates us as servants using His resources, not as owners using our own money and resources. Since all we do should glorify His name and extend His work on earth, how we go about using His money is crucial. It is the quality of financial management, not the quantity of finances managed. Godly biblical money management is a matter of how and not how much. It's not how much money you make but what you do with the money you have.

2. Wrong Focus: His entire world is full of himself and his things. He cannot see the need for others.
a. Luke 12:17-19 And he thought within himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?' So he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greate ...
