Matthew 6:24

Matthew 6:24

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Divided loyalties are impossible in the end. Money is not evil, but making it your master is. God alone can be Lord of our lives.

Memory phrase: Choose God, not money, as your master.

Talk about it: What is 'mammon' and why can't it be our master?

Prayer: God, I choose You as my master. Help me hold money loosely.
