How should I live in these economic times?

Remember the recession-proof words of the Apostle Paul,


"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain. . .Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way, they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age. . . 1 Timothy 6:17-19
