What this page covers
What does the Bible say about the ordinary parts of life — work, money and how we spend our days?
This family gathers topics about daily life and its practical decisions, beginning with work and money. Worry about provision lives under Peace & emotional life; hardship such as illness or loss under Life’s challenges.
Much of the Bible happens at work: shepherds with their flocks, fishermen mending nets, a woman sweeping her house for a lost coin, farmers, merchants, tax collectors and a tentmaker named Paul. Scripture does not keep faith in a separate compartment from earning a living. It speaks about wages, honest scales, debt, generosity and rest as part of a life lived before God.
Start with Work, money and purpose, which reads the best-known passages in context, including several that are often quoted as promises of wealth. These pages give no financial advice and promise no outcomes; they aim to show what the texts say and how Christians have read them.
