The document discusses financial principles from the Bible, such as paying debts, working, saving money, and putting God first. It argues that the government "bailouts" will only increase debt and that true prosperity comes from following God's teachings. Three choices are outlined for financial stability: storing up treasure in heaven, seeking God's perspective, and serving God over money. Jesus is described as our spiritual stimulus who compels us through his love.

2. Bailout… ? With man this is impossible… Mt. 19:26 Like Ohio did, our Nation, the U.S.A. needs to make this our motto! We need to look into the Bible and follow God’s principles of dealing with finances! God’s word gives instruction in all things that pertain to life and godliness… 2 Peter 1:3 “ All scripture… is profitable…” 2 Tim. 3:16-17 How can we make things right? Start by learning and doing what Jesus commands. Matthew 28:20 Where is Christ’s word? Heb. 1:1-2; Col. 3:16-17

3. Without God, We’re Doomed To Failure! “ There is a way that seems right to a man… but it’s end is death!” Proverbs 14:12; Jer. 10:23 “ We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.” Winston Churchill Common sense tells us… if you add more weight (debt) it will never get lighter! The “Bailouts” just equals more weight! $$ God teaches us to pay our debts... The opposite of incurring more debt than we could ever repay. Rom. 13:8; Ps. 37:21; Prov. 21:20; 22:26

4. Principles of Prosperity Put God first: Ps. 34:10; 37:25; Mt. 6:33; Phil. 4:19 Priority ONE is Jesus first! Work: Eph. 4:28; Prov. 6:1-11 Work leads to getting our needs Save: Prov. 21:20; 30:24-25 Saving helps for present and future needs. Genesis 41:33-36; Prov. 13:22 Pay your debts A.S.A.P. Prov. 3:27-28; Rom. 13:8

5. Three Choices For Financial Stability Isaiah 33:5-6, 22; Matthew 6:19-24 Choice #1 Choose to Store up treasure in heaven. Where your treasure is, your heart is… Choice #2 Choose to get God’s perspective. Prov. 3:5-6; Rom. 12:2 Choice #3 Choose to serve God rather than money. Mt. 6:24; 1 Tim. 6:17-19

6. Jesus Our Spiritual Stimulus! We love Him because He first loved us! 1 Jn. 4:19 The love of Christ compels “stimulates” us. To live for Jesus… 2 Cor. 5:14-15 Be saved by… Hearing and believing… Rom. 10:17 Repent of sins… Acts 2:38 Confess Christ… Rom. 10:10 Baptism into Christ… Gal. 3:27; Acts 22:16
