Righteousness, continued:

The approval of the Lord

God is trying to help us by instructing us in righteous living. He knows how we work and how we should live to have the best life.

What does the future hold?

Proverbs 10:24-25, 28, 30; 11:4-5, 18-19, 21, 23; 14:32

Wickedness brings punishment, but righteousness brings great reward (in eternity if not in this world).

Money is not moral or immoral on its own. It is our attitudes and actions with and about money that matter.

I Timothy 6:10, 17-19
