Money 101 (breing Money Wise) Oct 25 2009 Translated

馬太福音 MATTHEW 6:19-21  “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.20 Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal.21 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.  19 不要為自己積儹財寶在地上；地上有蟲子咬，能�壞 ，也有賊挖窟窿來偷。 20 只要積儹財寶在天上；天上沒 有蟲子咬，不能�壞，也沒有賊挖窟窿來偷。 21 因為你 的財寶在那裡，你的心也在那裡。

Matthew 25:14-30: Parable of the Talents 三個僕人的比喻

 馬太福音

 Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the

story of a man going on a long trip. He called together his servants and entrusted his money to them while he was gone.15 He gave five bags of silver to one, two bags of silver to another, and one bag of silver to the last—dividing it in proportion to their abilities.  14 天國又好比一個人要往外國去，就叫了僕人來，把他的家業 交給他們， 15 按著各人的才幹給他們銀子：一個給了五千，一 個給了二千，一個給了一千，就往外國去了。

The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together! ’22 “The servant who had received the two bags of silver came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two bags of silver to invest, and I have earned two more.’23 “The master said, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’  21 主人說：好，你這又良善又忠心的僕人，你在不多的事上 有忠心，我要把許多事派你管理；可以進來享受你主人的快樂。 22 那領二千的也來，說：主阿，你交給我二千銀子。請看， 我又賺了二千。 23 主人說：好，你這又良善又忠心的僕人， 你在不多的事上有忠心，我要把許多事派你管理；可以進來享 受你主人的快樂。 

Money is a test 金錢是一個試練 ( 路 Luke 16:10-12)  If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large

ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities. And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven? And if you are not faithful with other people’s things, why should you be trusted with things of your own?  10 人在最小的事上忠心，在大事上也忠心；在最小的事上不義，在大事 上也不義。 11 倘若你們在不義的錢財上不忠心，誰還把那真實的錢財託 付你們呢？ 12 倘若你們在別人的東西上不忠心，誰還把你們自己的東西 給你們呢？ 1.

Money is a testimony 金錢是一個見證 ( 太 Matthew 5:13-14)  Be Salt and Light in the world 作世上的鹽及世上的光

Our SUCCESS in God’s eyes is not measured by our wealth 在神的眼中我們成功與否 不是在於我們的財富 WELL DONE – GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANTS 你這又良善又忠心的僕人

What we do with God’s money says everything about what we think about Him. 我們怎樣使用神的錢反映我們對神的心態
