0:00.0	The Bible Study Podcast, episode 172. Today is the last in a series of studies on money.
0:15.2	Welcome to the Bible Study podcast. I'm your host, Chris Christensen. This is part eight. I'd originally
0:20.3	thinking maybe there was going to be a part nine. The other part, though, I just don't think is going to work out to be a whole episode. Let me just tell you that there is a theme in the Bible about being honest with our money, not cheating on our taxes, give to Caesar, what is Caesar's, give to God, what is gods, not being dishonest with our scales or with our dealings
0:38.2	with one another, not stealing from one another. But I'm thinking that that's something that

1:40.6	And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
1:45.0	That is the very first description we get of the church after the day of Pentecost.
1:52.5	This is Acts 2, so the section just before this is Peter preaching the sermon that leads to the 3,000 people being added to the number from the
