Where Are Your Riches? - The 10th Command
Godliness with contentment… Are you godly? What is it to be content? What is your personal definition of "riches". There are only two things that I can think of that will last for eternity: 1) Our relationship with Jesus Christ 2) Our relationships with each other (Family, Friends, Believers and the unsaved) How should we live our lives? 1) Love God with all our hearts 2) Seek first the Kingdom of heaven 3) Love your neighbor as your self Do you apply these to how you shop, how you work, what you read, what you watch and how you spend your time? If you will begin to honestly evaluate your life on these three principles, God will show you where to make changes that will truly bring LIFE! If we will strive to apply these three things to every aspect of our lives and frame everything we do around them, we will find what are really TRUE RICHES!!!

God is glorified when we are obedient to his commands, including his command to give, and especially when we give sacrificially. Giving is a work of grace that we are to pursue. The grace of giving benefits us by laying up treasure in heaven, helping us to mortify materialism and covetousness, and by allowing us to partner in the gospel.

The Eighth Commandment (Exodus 20:15)
God's prohibition of stealing covers a great variety of sins, from robbery and burglary to embezzlement (including how we spend our time at work), fraud, enslavement, and robbing God. There is stealing in each of our hearts, and the root of it is our failure to trust in God's provision, and in our covetousness. In Christ, who died between two thieves, we find provision for forgiveness, and power to work faithfully for our provision and so that we may give to others.
