Changing How You Think About Money And Seeking God’s Direction With Your Finances
Mission trips have a way of changing people; changing the way people think or the way they see the world that they return home to. If you’ve been a part of a mission experience before, then you will probably find what I am about to say somewhat familiar. If you’re new to the idea of […]
What Does The Bible Have To Do With Finances?
What Does The Bible Have To Do With Finances? The Bible is very clear about how we should handle our finances. God wants to abundantly bless those who obey His Word in this all-important area. Why do you think there are more than twenty-three hundred verses in the Bible about money? Is it a coincidence? […]
Devotional: Giving as Worship
Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops. – Proverbs 3:9 In the Old Testament, believers did not come to the temple to worship without an offering to give God.

Are You Tithing Enough?
I‘m a relatively new Christian and have only begun tithing a full %10 of my gross income since the beginning of the year. This has been one of the best things that I’ve ever done and if you’re interested in the story of how I came around, read it here. But just the other day, […]

It All Belongs To God: Giving Of Our First Fruits
‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty. Haggai 2:8 It All Belongs To God This verse brings home to me the fact that no matter how much money I get, or how many things I collect, that it all belongs to God. It isn’t mine, its His. […]
Money And Your Prayer Life: Do You Pray About Your Finances?
The past few weeks I’ve been reminded in a bunch of ways of just how woefully inadequate I’ve been when it comes to praying to God in all things. As Christians I feel we constantly need to be in relationship with Christ, seeking guidance, asking for things we need and praising him for all the […]
Sharing The Gospel: What Do People Need To Know?
Every Monday evening I attend a Bible Study Fellowship class at a church here in Eden Prairie, MN with several hundred other men. It’s a very in-depth bible study that the leaders kid we should all be getting college credit for. Every week we have in-depth notes and bible study questions to complete which we […]
The Bible And Tithing: To Give Or Not To Give – Part 2
In part 1 of our “The Bible and tithing” series, we talked about the perspective that tithing is a biblical requirement, and that all Christians need to give 10% (at least) of their income. Anything after that is a free will offering. For a quick refresher, see Part 1 here. Today we’ll look at a […]
The Bible And Tithing: To Give Or Not To Give – Part 1
A couple of weeks ago I came across an interesting discussion on rocketfinance.net about tithing. Specifically, he was discussing whether or not it was OK for a pastor to look at tithing records of congregants when choosing deacons for the church: I heard a pastor say that when his church members are nominated for positions […]
Why Do We As Christians Need To Be Concerned About Money?
One question I’ve been asking myself recently is this, “Why do we as Christians need to be concerned about Money, and what the Bible says about it?”. When we think about our finances, it often feels like our faith and our money should be mutually exclusive. They have really nothing to do with each other, […]
