It has been said, "Show me your financial records and I'll show you what's important to you."  Jesus put it another way: "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."  Money matters because how you handle it is a reflection on your heart, character, and level of love for the Kingdom of God.  Since Jesus spoke about money more than any other issue other than salvation itself, we, too, should be familiar with a Biblical perspective related to finances.
