10 Habits the Bible Warns Will Keep You Broke

These 10 habits will keep you poor. Now, let me say this something up front. Poverty is not always your fault. Sometimes there's oppression. Sometimes there's crisis. Sometimes there's economy, sickness, spiritual warfare. There is also a war that breaks out in the country, injustice, and what life throws at you. But sometimes, if we're very honest, poverty

Proverbs 14:23, in all labor there is profit. So not only in the labor that's related to your passions and desires and matches your gifts and your education, but all labor has profit. So this is what you need
