Proverbs & Pennies is an independent website about what the Bible teaches on money: earning, saving, giving, borrowing, and trusting God with what we have.
Most of us were never taught how Scripture connects to everyday money decisions like paying off a credit card, deciding how much to give, or facing a month when the bills are bigger than the paycheck. Each article here pairs a passage of Scripture with a plain-language explanation and one practical way to apply it: a simple calculation, a budgeting exercise, or a question to talk through at home.
How we write
Articles are drafted with the help of AI writing tools and then reviewed, edited, and fact-checked by the editor before they are published. Scripture quotations are checked against the biblical text, and we quote the King James Version, which is in the public domain, unless a post says otherwise. Money examples are deliberately simple so they are easy to follow and adapt.
What this site is not
Proverbs & Pennies is not a church, a ministry, or a financial advisory firm. We do not teach that faith is a formula for getting rich, and nothing on this site promises financial results. Many of the passages we study are about contentment, honest work, generosity, and trust, and not about getting more. Please read our Disclaimer for details.
