Biblical Perspective on Money

Are you a good steward?

09.07.2008

Stewards are mentioned in the Bible quite a bit actually (you can read more about stewardship verses.)

My tithing experience

08.24.2008

I don’t exactly remember when I started to tithe – probably about 7-8 years ago. But I do remember getting a new job that was nearly double my previous income and thinking, “Wow, so this is the result of tithing.” It was a helpful lesson to me since I was, like most, skeptical about the whole thing. I had heard about all the scandals with TV preachers and kind of grew up with a cynical attitude towards giving to the church. Somewhere along the line I decided to “take a chance” and try it out.

Open your mind (Part 2)

07.30.2008

Getting out of Debt Part 2…I have found that when I am challenged by something, I either open my mind to the possibility of it or I don’t. If I do open my mind to it, then I have to count the cost to decide if I want to do it. If so, the last and often easiest step is to just do it.

Getting out of Debt : It’s not about you (Part 1)

07.28.2008

Getting out of debt Part 1… If you are like most Christians I have met, you want to be able to give more. You have a good heart and wish you could give more. You really want to be able to bless people and give more to your church.

The Bible on healthy living

07.10.2008

Since then I have read a couple books that gave me a Biblical understanding of health. The beauty is that it is pretty simple. The one book that I would recommend to anyone to read is called “What the Bible says about Healthy Living”" by Rex Russell. Considering all the benefits from being healthy, this book could possibly be the most life-changing book that I have read (other than the Bible – duh ).

What do you want? The Biblical way to get what you want

07.05.2008

What is the Biblical way to get what you want? – “Want”, despite its appearance, is not a four-letter word. There is nothing wrong with wanting something, and wanting it badly. In fact, it seems that wanting something badly is almost a pre-requisite to asking God for anything. God is looking for a single-minded man or woman who will not accept anything but God’s best.

Parable of the Talents

05.28.2008

Stewards are required to take risks: It is interesting to me how upset the master got with the steward who took no risks. The other two stewards did take risks and reaped the rewards. I often wonder why the parable didn’t contain a steward who lost some of the investment. But either way, I think we are led to believe that the primary frustration of the master was that the steward was lazy and didn’t even try.

Budgeting for giving

04.27.2008

We have the opportunity to give into God’s kingdom. We have the privilege of being able to give to help people. It really is a privilege and an opportunity. God doesn’t need us. He has an endless supply of finances – He can get the money where it needs to be. But He allows us the chance to be used by Him in the process, knowing that WE will benefit from being used.
