Money gives us opportunities to teach our children good and godly attributes and how to be shrewd, faithful, trustworthy, efficient, effective, accountable, and generous. Sure, these can be taught without using money, but our children would do well to learn how they all relate to money.
One of the key Christian values to teach our children is that everything belongs to God and that we are just stewards of all that He has given us.
“And the Lord said, ‘Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time?’”
Luke 12:42
As stewards, we maintain the work according to God’s standard, not our own.
