Christians and Debt

03.04.2008

Are you free from the Love of Money?

02.03.2008

The bible says that Man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. God knows our thoughts and motivations behind every action we take. People, on the other hand, do not, but they like to think that they do. It is easy to look at someone with a lot of money and judge them quoting the above verse. But we will NEVER know their heart.

What does the Bible say about Money?

12.30.2007

I have been working on the Money in the Bible page here at ChristianPF. I found that many of the Bible topic books were concordance based. So, I have been compiling verses by topic over the last few months and while it is in no way an exhaustive list, it is a start. I will continue to update it and add to it as I stumble on verses or new topics.

Would Jesus have an emergency fund

11.20.2007

I talk a lot about the importance of having an emergency fund and how it is a necessary ingredient to a sound financial plan. But, I thought we should step back and ask the necessary question, “Would Jesus have an emergency fund?”

Should A Christian Have A Credit Card?

10.15.2007

Credit cards may be a more recent phenomenon, but the concept of borrowing from others goes back a long time. The Bible mentions borrowing and lending many times, but credit cards are never explicitly covered because, well, they didn’t exist.

Is God bad at Math?

09.30.2007

I think I can say with confidence that the Bible does NOT endorse the “save it all up then give” method. This is a little bit of a struggle for me, because the mathematical portion of my brain can see the enormous benefit.

A simple act

08.28.2007

I was driving home from work yesterday and I saw a man begging on the off ramp by my house. As I drove past I had this strong compulsion to go take him out to lunch and talk to the guy. This was about the last thing in the world that I WANTED to do.

Should you give to beggars?

08.23.2007

Obviously, the Bible makes it very clear that we are to give to the poor. There are countless verses to support this. But, it also says in 2 Thessalonians 3:10, “For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.”

He fed four thousand, He will feed you

At the beginning of Mark 8, Jesus performs this awesome miracle of taking seven loaves and feeding four thousand people with it. The disciples were with Him the whole time. They witnessed this and experienced it. They ate the fish and bread that was miraculously duplicated.

Was Jesus a tightwad?

08.02.2007

It seems that many Americans think the defining indicator of financial security is your lack of concern for waste. You can see it all over our culture with movie stars spending $30,000 on a designer handbag to carry their dogs in, or in the rock-n-roll lifestyle where music videos clearly portray the idea that,”money is no object,” often times in a competition of who can have the most gold chains or throw the most cash in the air.

Walk with the wise

07.26.2007

Obviously, this isn’t an exact figure, but I think the point is a valid one that extends way beyond income to many areas of our lives. The truth is that we are affected by those around us. By putting positive influences in our lives, we will begin to change in that direction.
