Rooted in Biblical Wisdom!
Wisdom is a skill in living that begins with fearing God, then progresses to guarding your mind, choosing your companions, controlling your body, monitoring your words, pursuing your work, managing your money, and loving your neighbor. Very simple. But that’s it. And when you’ve done that, you’ve learned wisdom. It’s vital to be taught wisdom. For example, as a father, if I fail to teach my children to fear God, the devil will teach them to hate God. If I fail to teach my children to guard their mind, the devil will teach them to have an open mind. If I fail to teach my children to obey their parents, the devil will teach them to rebel and break his parents’ hearts. If I fail to teach my children to select their companions carefully, the devil will choose them for them. If I fail to teach my children to control their body, the devil will gladly teach them to give it completely over to their lusts. If I fail to teach my children to enjoy speech that is honorable to God, the devil will fill their mouths with filth. If I fail to teach my children to pursue their work, the devil will make them lazy. If I fail to teach them to manage their money, the devil will teach them to waste it on riotous living. If I fail to teach them to love their neighbor, the devil will gladly teach them to love only themselves. And the only reason I can pass any of this wisdom on to my children is because God has graciously made it all available in the Bible.

The family simply shares one, 2-minute message, every day. (The recommended time of day is just before the evening meal because it provides an opportunity for further discussion)
One way that God has designed for us to increase the wealth that He gives generously to us is by working. Listen to Proverbs 28:19, "He who tills his land will have plenty of food, but he who follows empty pursuits will have poverty in plenty." If you don't plow, you will never have a harvest. In 2 Thessalonians 3:10, Paul says, "For even when we were with you, we used to command this to you: 'If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat.'" You don't work; you don't eat. Such a principle would never be accepted as a national welfare policy. Look, you harm people by giving food to people who don't earn it. This is not helpful. This is diminishing of human dignity, the image of God, and the purpose of God, and it allows too much idle time, no productivity, no sense of well-being, no sense of contribution, no sense of achievement, no sense of accomplishment, no sense of provision, and no opportunity for generosity. It's just destructive. And that's why Paul says, repeatedly, "If you are not working, then you are not eating." Proverbs 6:6 gives good advice: "Go to the ant, oh lazy man. Observe her ways and be wise." Look at an ant. Do you ever see an ant stand still? Have you ever seen an ant kicking back? They never stop moving. It's amazing. So Scripture is clear about this: the key to great success is getting out of bed and going to work. Furthermore, 1 Timothy 5:8 says, "If anyone does not provide for his own, especially those of his own household"—that's your own household and extended family and friends—"he's denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." Wow! You deny the faith. You literally are a horrible Christian example because a Christian is one who serves and honors God, and God says work and care for your own needs and give to the needs of others. That's part of what it means to be a Christian. If you don't work, in a sense, you're denying the faith, and you're worse than unbelievers in this sense; even unbelievers take care of their own. That's an axiomatic general principle. There's a second way you can increase your treasure. The first way is work, and the second way is save. Proverbs 21:20 says, "There is precious treasure and oil in the house of the wise. The foolish man swallows it up." You need to save; you need to be careful and wise so that you live on a budget and you spend less than you take in so that you have something for the future, not just future difficulties but future opportunities. That leads me to a third word, the word "plan." You need a budget. And it's a simple thing to have a budget. Spend less than you take in. Create a priority list, determine what truly matters, begin there, proceed down the list, and stop once you've reached your limit. It's not brain surgery. And just remember this: you're planning with the Lord's money. I don't know if you've thought about this, but you are God's money manager. You're God's financial planner, you are. God says, "OK, here's all this money; take this, will you please, and manage it for me." So, what I need to do as a believer is plan how I'm going to use God's money given to me. That clears many things up. Therefore, I ask these questions: "Will my spending honor the Lord? Is this a God-honoring place to put that money? Is this where it can have the greatest impact?" Those are the only questions. And the truth of the matter is, if we managed somebody's money the way we manage the Lord's money, we'd all be in prison for embezzling. Fortunately, God is much more gracious than most people. Thus, to be successful with money, we have to work, save, and plan as if we were God's personal money managers. Because we are. And we do it all for His glory. Repent and believe! GTY.org (42-207) - Escaping Materialism
