  1. Can God Trust Me Luke 16:1-13 NIV Who’s the Boss:

  2. Can God Trust Me "Jesus told his disciples: "There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. So he called him in and asked him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.'  "The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do now? Luke 16:1-13 NIV

  3. Can God Trust Me My master is taking away my job. I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg— I know what I'll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.'  "So he called in each one of his master's debtors. He asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'  " 'Eight hundred gallons of olive oil,' he replied. Luke 16:1-13 NIV

  4. Can God Trust Me "The manager told him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred.'  "Then he asked the second, 'And how much do you owe?' " 'A thousand bushels of wheat,' he replied. "He told him, 'Take your bill and make it eight hundred.' "The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. Luke 16:1-13 NIV

  5. Can God Trust Me For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light. I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.  "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. Luke 16:1-13 NIV

  6. Can God Trust Me So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own? "No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money" Luke 16:1-13 NIV

May it be that when I say to a girl, 'Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I'll water your camels too'-let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master” Genesis 24:12-14 NIV
