I’ve been surprised by how much the Bible actually says about money – budgeting, saving money, spending it, how to handle it, how to give and why to give and more. And to show you what I mean, have a look at Christian PF’s massive list of lists in 250 Bible Verses about Money which is conveniently categorised under many headings.

Here are my top 3 Bible Texts of late that talk about money and have impressed me (or been impressed upon me) over the last few months:

“Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter, like a bird fleeing from a net.” Proverbs 6:5

In the context of having found yourself in debt, the book of Proverbs describes what our attitude should be like in regards to our debt. We’re not to be laissez faire where we gently stroll away from debt. No! I’m reading this and I’m made aware that I must flee from debt like a gazelle running away from a hunter.

2. I think its always best to define what Dispensationalism is based on what the teachers, theologians and scholars who hold that position say, instead of defining it based on what a covenant theologian says about Dispensationalism.
3. Also, it wouldn’t be accurate to say Dispensationalism or Covenant Theology is a “biblical hermeneutic” or least it shouldn’t be … both approaches are broad frameworks for understanding where certain things fit in over history and in times to come.
4. I’d also like to stress for others watching or reading, that this discussion is not in an area of doctrine in which we both must agree otherwise one of us is damned.  Its safe to say that the discussion in that grey area where the error is not damning – albeit error with serious implications.  For instance, it isn’t a doctrinal issue which you must include in your gospel presentation.
