Can money buy happiness? We all know how we're supposed to answer that question. "No, of course not. Money can't buy happiness."

And yet we've all experienced those moments of joy and happiness from something we've wanted for a long time and finally bought, or that family experience that we paid for and that created lasting memories. And many of us have encountered the difference between the anxiety of not having enough and the contentment of knowing that our income covers our expenses.

Proverbs shows us the wisdom of balance:

"Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.

Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the LORD?’

Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God." (Proverbs 30:8-9)

Scripture warns us of the deceitfulness of wealth and gives us plenty of examples of those who have been drawn away from God by the allure of money and what it can buy. But it also gives us examples of wealth used for God's honor and lives lived in fullness and contentment as a result. How do we avoid the former and achieve the latter?

Join us as host James Lenhoff discusses the importance of maintaining a balanced perspective on what money can - and can't - do.
