12 Rules about Money

I recently spoke in public giving the following message about money. Although I gave the message in Spanish in a Mexican Church, this message applies to everyone. The rules given here will work for Christians and non-Christians alike.

Part of having purpose in business is to be succesful with the way you deal with money

I have translated the message from Spanish to English here. These Rules about Giving uses Luke 6:23 which states “give and it’ll be given to you” as a promise for Financial success. It is more blessed to Give than Receive.

The Bible speaks more on the subject of money than any other subject including love, eternal life or even salvation.

We just finished the Christmas Season which is a celebration of the best gift to the World- The Son of God. God Gave His only begotten Son- John 3:16. God himself practices the law of giving and receiving.

It is more blessed to give than to receive.
