MoneyAs Christians, we trust what the Bible says, and we strive to move beyond an interpretation of scripture to being living examples of the truth within. Money or wealth is mentioned more than 2,350 times in scrip-ture. While we begin to act out the instructions of scripture in our daily lives, we must sometimes do so in contradiction to common understanding, particularly as it pertains to money.
