\nLuke 12:15 Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.\u2019
\nMatthew 6:24 You cannot serve both God and Money.
\nMatthew 6:19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal”
\n10.7\tSome very challenging sayings of Jesus
\nMatthew 5:42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
\nLuke 18:25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.\u2019<\/p>\n

Luke 14:12-14 Then Jesus said to his host, \u2018When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbours; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,4 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.\u2019
\nLuke 14:33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.
\nLuke 12 33-34 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
