| 0:00.0 | The Is how? Is having wealth a burden or a blessing? According to the Bible it depends on how |
| 0:29.9 | we steward those resources. What does your bank account reveal about you? |
| 0:35.0 | Today on Truth for Life, Alistair Begg shares some basic biblical principles to help us |
| 0:40.9 | manage our assets in a wise and God honoring manner. |
| 0:47.0 | Well, we're resuming our studies in Nehemiah. We're picking up the threads which we found in |
| 1:00.0 | chapters 8, 9, and 10, where God's people had determined that they were going to make a significant |
| 1:05.7 | commitment to God. This had come about as a result of a simple request at the beginning of chapter |

| 2:11.3 | The word of God had been spoken clearly, the people had been thinking sensibly, |
| 2:16.7 | and as a result of the two things coming together, they realized that something was going to |
| 2:21.7 | have to happen. |
| 2:23.0 | Indeed, this is only the way in which the word of God should be taught and responded to. |
| 2:29.0 | If we are not making the connection between its teaching and its application, then we are severely |
