This teaching is EXACTLY what I need and want, and I have been learning and applying. I also let others know about it. I purchased some of the books, and was blessed to receive a free one too, and I give these books to my friends and family members. Back to Testimonials I have been blessed to be a part of this Biblical teaching! "Hello Tom, I have been blessed to be a part of this Biblical teaching! God continues to make a difference in my entire life through this workshop series, because applying Biblical principles on finances, seems to have a domino effect resulting in other areas of my life and health being improved, especially Peace of mind and contentment. This study definitely benefits my personal relationship with God, and helps me to see that it was really lacking in the area of finances. I really appreciate the participants materials/ workbook, because I really like to see things in print, so I can read it. The case studies are very very helpful. Love the highlighted memory verses.I really appreciate the overall STRUCTURE of the course, which is something that I really need. Structure and guidance, specifically BIBLICAL guidance, is really an answer to my prayers. Tony and Eli provided exceptional leadership to our group. They work very well together, they know how to move things along, for efficient use of time, while also recognizing when it is beneficial to spend more time on a certain topic, showing lots of common sense, respect and wisdom. I appreciate that they each have their own personal relationship/ walk with God, and this is evident. Tony and Eli encouraged others to participate, which helps people to grow, come out of our comfort zone ( which I would not have done unless prompted ) and go to a higher level. I was sad when the group was finished, but I plan to do more. Yes, I have made, and continue to make significant changes in the way I manage (God's) money. Overall, this teaching is EXACTLY what I need and want, and I have been learning and applying. I also let others know about it. I purchased some of the books, and was blessed to receive a free one too, and I give these books to my friends and family members. Thank you very much. BG Saskatchewan, Canada Previous Next

Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store PRIORITIES-TREASURES IN HEAVEN I believe that “treasures on earth” include money and material things. Back to Priorities Treasures in Heaven By: Tom Copland June 13, 2020 Jesus said, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store PRIORITIES-TREASURES IN HEAVEN I believe that “treasures on earth” include money and material things. These are the things that we tend to prize during our lifetime but that will have no importance when we get to heaven. The apostle Paul made it clear: “For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it” (1 Timothy 6:7). On the other hand, “treasures in heaven” include things that will be important to us when we get to heaven. I believe that “treasures in heaven” include salvation (as one’s salvation will last for eternity) and the rewards in heaven that God promises to his faithful stewards. The concept of rewards in heaven is difficult to grasp in concrete terms because we don’t really know what heaven will be like, and scripture does not explicitly describe heavenly rewards. However, it is important to realize that what we do here on earth does have an effect on what awaits us in heaven. 1 Timothy 4:7 tells us that “godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” Godliness includes the way we handle our finances. We read about treasures in heaven again in 1 Timothy 6:18, 19: “Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way, they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.” In the Parable of the Talents, the concept of rewards is specifically linked to faithful financial stewardship. To servants who have been faithful stewards, God has promised that he will put them “in charge of many things” and that they will enjoy happiness with their master. Jesus said, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!” (Matthew 25:21). As human beings, it is easy to get focused on money and material things that we can enjoy while we are here on earth. However, because money and material things are temporary, it is the wise Christian who focuses on “treasures in heaven.” Colossians 3:1, 2 states, “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” May I encourage you to take a few minutes right now and pray, asking God to reveal to you how you need to adjust your focus from treasures on earth to treasures in heaven.

Regardless of how difficult your financial problems are, it’s important to remember that God is in control. He is the all-knowing, all-powerful, and everywhere present God. Back to Freedom from Financial Anxiety God is in Control By: Tom Copland June 14, 2020 Regardless of how difficult your financial problems are, it’s important to remember that God is in control. He is the all-knowing, all-powerful, and everywhere present God. After God miraculously provided all the materials and labor that were needed to build the temple, David acknowledged God’s sovereignty and power by praising God as follows: Everything in the heavens and earth is yours O Lord and this is your kingdom. We adore you as being in control of everything. Riches and honour come from you alone, and you are the ruler of all mankind: your hand controls power and that might and it is at your discretion that men are making great and given strength. (1 Chron. 29: 11, 12 TLB) Even if you find that the financial pressures are overwhelming and you are “at the end of your rope,” God is still in control: “The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all” (Ps. 103:19 NASB). God is aware of your financial problems as he watches over you: “The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy” (Ps. 145:20). God is aware of every detail of your financial problems (Ps. 139:1–4 ). Although God did not cause your financial problems, he has allowed them to occur in your life. He has a purpose for any trials that his children encounter. Perhaps you have unknowingly violated one or more of his principles, in which case the purpose would be to teach you something. Or perhaps your financial problems may simply be the result of God “pruning” you with the objective of you “bearing more spiritual fruit”(John 15:2). Either way, God is still in control. In Isaiah 46:9–11 God says, I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned, that will I do. Because God is in control, we need to trust him completely and depend solely upon him for the direction and strength that we need in dealing with all of our financial problems.

Tom Copland on what the Bible teaches about tithing and generous giving, with key verses and short videos. Free, Bible-based teaching. Giving What does the Bible say about giving and tithing? The Bible has more than 2,300 references to money and material things. Tithing is only a small part of what God teaches about giving. In these one-minute Financial Moments videos , Tom Copland explains what Scripture says about tithing, giving generously and giving with the right heart. Watch one, or work through the whole series. Is tithing still for today? The guideline in Scripture is to give at least 10 percent of your income to God’s work. But the tithe is the smallest percentage mentioned anywhere in Scripture, and the emphasis in God’s Word is to give generously. When Zacchaeus came to faith, he gave half of his possessions (Luke 19:8). Also in this series: Tithing · Don’t Be Constrained by the Tithe · Will a Man Rob God (Malachi 3:8) Give God the first fruits, not the leftovers Do you give the first fruits to God’s work, or does God get the leftovers? Giving first, before other spending, puts God first in our finances. “Honour the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops.” (Proverbs 3:9) Also in this series: Paul and Jill Give God “The Leftovers” Give generously and cheerfully Generous giving goes beyond a set percentage, and it comes from a willing heart rather than obligation. “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” (2 Corinthians 9:6) Also in this series: Give Generously · Give Cheerfully · Everyone Can Experience the Joy of Giving Give as a steward, not an owner God owns everything. We manage what he has entrusted to us, so giving starts by acknowledging, in heart and mind, that it is all his. “‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the LORD Almighty.” (Haggai 2:8) Also in this series: Give Regularly to God’s Work · Consider It a Privilege to Give to God’s Work · Be Faithful with a Small Amount (Luke 16:10) Why God entrusts us with more When God provides more, it is not so we can spend it on ourselves or hoard it. God’s purpose in entrusting us with more is that we can give even more to his work. “You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion.” (2 Corinthians 9:11) Also in this series: When You Give to God’s Work, Everyone Is Blessed! Store up treasures in heaven Money and material things are temporary: we can take nothing with us. Giving to God’s work has eternal value, for the giver and for the people it reaches. “Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.” (Matthew 6:20) Also in this series: Remember Christians Are Citizens of Heaven · God Rewards Generous Givers! Check your motives How we handle money is an outward sign of an inward spiritual condition. Give out of love for God, not to be seen or to get something back. “Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” (Luke 12:15) Also in this series: Ensure That Your Motives Are Godly and Not Worldly When debt gets in the way of giving Debt payments can crowd out giving. Easy credit leads many Christians to give less than they want to, and keeping debt to a minimum frees you to give generously. “The borrower is servant to the lender.” (Proverbs 22:7) Also in this series: Debt Hinders Giving · Rob and Linda Give Less Because of Debt · “Easy Credit” Results in Reduced Giving Teach your children to give Children learn about money by watching their parents. Giving faithfully is one of the best lessons you can pass on. Also in this series: Parent’s Money Management Impacts Their Children Giving from your business and your estate Giving doesn’t stop with your paycheque.
