Today on Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram. Money. How much of it can you have and still be godly?

Is it more spiritual to be poor or more spiritual to be rich? What does money say about us and how do you get God's help to handle your money well?

That's today.

Here's a sobering reality. Did you know that the vast majority of families lose their inherited wealth within one generation? Not from poor planning, but from never learning

the truth about money. But here's the biggest danger, wealth is a liar. Wealth convinces millionaires that to be satisfied,

they need to amass just a little bit more. Well, today on Living on the Edge, Chip Ingram exposes

how money deceives even sincere believers and reveals why passing on financial wisdom to your

children and grandchildren may be the most critical

legacy you'll ever leave. Well, before he starts his message, I'll remind you that living on

the edge is making headway on the December match. Every gift you give will be matched dollar for dollar

automatically doubling your impact. We'll share more details about the match later.

Right now, let's begin Chip's message titled,

Teach Them to Manage Their Wealth Wisely.

I'm going to ask you a series of about five questions,

and then here's how I want you to think.

With one part of your brain going,

this is my answer to the question,

and then the second is, how do you think those people that

matter to you most would answer this question? Because I want you to begin to ponder where are they at

with this issue of wealth and money? So this is my answer. And then I want you to see, gosh,

would they answer it about the same or, oh, we're really on different pages? And it's just a little diagnostic tool. Are you ready? Okay. Question number one. Talking about money, how much is enough? Write a number. I mean, don't give me one of those soft. Just enough to cover our needs and live comfortably, whatever that means. I mean, if it's a million, write a million. If it's five million, five million, 500,000. How much money is enough to really live and be who God wants you to be from where you're living for you in your world? Write it down. And then I want you to be thinking, what would my son, my daughter, the guys in my Bible study, what would they say? Question number two. How much is too much? Write down a dollar amount. In other words, if God gave you $2 million, that would be enough, but $11 might kind of send you over the edge. Or $50 million you feel like you could handle or what you want is X a

month you wouldn't want a big stockpile I don't know what you but what's the answer to that question
