Why "More" is Never Enough - #6046
In Ecclesiastes 3:11, Solomon actually puts his finger on why happiness is so elusive: He says, "God has set eternity in the hearts of men." We're made for something that will last forever, and nothing that doesn't last forever will ever fill the hole in our heart. In fact, we were made for a personal relationship with God, the only One who's big enough to fill that hole because that hole was made for Him.

"Love of money" in the Bible: 1 Timothy 6:10
Although this verse is frequently misquoted as "Money is the root of all evil," the verse actually teaches that love of money--greed--is the sin, and an impulse that lies behind much wickedness throughout history.

The Most Vulnerable Spot - #3105
When you are handling money, always take the high road. Don't see how close to the edge of integrity you can play - see how far you can stay from the edge - always erring on the side of taking too many precautions. Money seems to have spiritual power - and Satan knows it. He has used the abuse of it - or just naive carelessness with it - to majorly harm to the name of Christ and the trust of God's people.

Stopped By A Storm - #2395
Maybe you've been hit with something medical or financial. Maybe your family is in a crisis or someone you love is gone or you found yourself out of work, out of money even out of hope. Sometimes a struggling son or daughter knocks us off our horse. Whatever the storm would you allow me to suggest why it might be happening. For the same reason it happened to Saul, so you would finally be able to hear the voice of Jesus.

Throwing Out Goodies - #3736
You can keep giving out to other people because God is always going to give you back more than you gave out. You shovel out, God shovels in, and God has a much bigger shovel. And what are we giving out ultimately? Grace. Undeserved favor - just like we've received from God.

Finances - a Christian perspective
What's the "secret" to wealth? This passage promises that when we use our money and possessions in God's service, God will provide more resources for us to dedicate to that cause.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries, Inc. - Even Better Than Gold - #8252 | Radio Program | A Life That Matters
I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and the same day I was reading about the skyrocketing value of gold, I read in the Bible about something God says is even better than gold. You might be surprised what it is. It says, “For a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith–of greater worth than gold—may be proved genuine” (1 Peter 1:6-7 ).

Taming the Final Frontier - #5842
Something very miraculous, something transforming happens when Jesus enters the darkness in our heart. The lights go on. The darkness isn't winning anymore, and He's waiting to make that miracle your miracle.

Downsizing For Success - #5775
God puts us in situations where, like Gideon, we're left saying, "If there's a victory here, it's going to have absolutely nothing to do with me." So if you find yourself out-manned, out-gunned, and under-resourced right now - if it seems like God has been cutting you back and putting limitations on you - realize this may very well be the prelude to an amazing victory!
