    Episode 199: Do I Have to be Poor to be Saved

    Is Money Bad? Can You Be a Saver and Also Be Saved?Happy Sunday! Following the exciting news of my wife Jeanne’s recent retirement, we are diving into a crucial question that affects every single one of us: What does God think about our finances? Whether you are young and preparing for the future, or already navigating the season of retirement, this message is for you.Many people mistakenly believe the Bible says money is the root of all evil. But 1 Timothy 6:10 clarifies that the love of money is the root of all evil. Money itself is amoral—it is simply a tool. It can be used to fund a drug cartel, or it can be used to build an orphanage. The real issue is never the money; it is always the condition of our hearts.In this episode, we unpack Proverbs 15:16: “Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble with it.”Join us as we look at the story of the Rich Young Ruler in Mark 10, the life of King Solomon, and what it truly means to have a "fear of the Lord" that shapes how we live, save, and give. You can be wealthy and love Jesus—but you must guard your heart. Key Highlights: The Myth of Evil Money: Understanding the difference between having money and loving money.The Rich Young Ruler: How Jesus exposes when we are too invested in our investments.The Danger of Wealth Without Faith: Why youth and great wealth can be a dangerous combination without a spiritual foundation.True Reverence: What the "fear of the Lord" actually means for a believer's daily lifestyle.If this message challenged or encouraged you, please Follow our podcast, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode with a friend! davidshivers.com
