BUSINESS (4)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Bible Topic
a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.
2. Business
a) What does the Scripture say about my monthly bills? It's in the Bible, Romans 13:7-8, NIV. "Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law."
b) Be cautious about countersigning loan notes. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 22:26-27, TLB. "Unless you have extra cash on hand, don't countersign a note. Why risk everything you own? They'll even take your bed!"
c) What reminder are we given about borrowing money? It's in the Bible, Proverbs 22:7, NIV. "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender."
d) God expects fairness in business dealings. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 16:11, TLB. "The Lord demands fairness in every business deal. He established this principle."
e) Honesty and fairness are always expected of those who wish to please God. It's in the Bible, Isaiah 33:15, TLB. "I will tell you who can live here: All who are honest and fair, who reject making profit by fraud, who hold back their hands from taking bribes, who refuse to listen to those who plot murder, who shut their eyes to all enticement to do wrong."
f) It is important to work to earn a living. It's in the Bible, 2 Thessalonians 3:11-12, TLB. "Yet we hear that some of you are living in laziness, refusing to work, and wasting your time in gossiping. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we appeal to such people—we command them—to quiet down, get to work, and earn their own living."
