Pursuing Early Retirement God’s Way

The FIRE movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early) is attracting many with the dream of one day having enough passive income from investments to stop working. It’s an alluring goal. But should Christians pursue early retirement? While tempting, we must examine our motivations prayerfully. Will it deepen dependence on God or reduce it? Is the aim […]

Discovering God’s Blueprint for Finances

My journey towards biblically wise money management began as a child with my mother’s teaching. When I desired a new baseball glove, she started giving me a small allowance – with tithing required!

Unlocking Your Kingdom Purpose: The Power of Written Goals in Christian Life

Christ calls us to live successfully – with focus and goals aligned to our Kingdom purpose. Without clarity of direction, we drift through life missing God’s full potential. But He has equipped and qualified us for the race ahead through His Word and Christ’s sacrifice. Those without written goals and vision lack direction and hope. […]

Setting Goals with an Eternal Perspective

As Christians, the most effective goals we can set are those formed with eternity in view. Daily prayer helps develop this kingdom mindset. It enables us to hear God’s direction for our goals.

Cultivating the Habit of Saving for Emergencies

A common struggle for families is inconsistent saving. Without an emergency fund, unexpected expenses force many into debt. But as Christians, we know trials will come. 1 Peter 4:12 warns us not to be surprised by “fiery trials” which test our faith. Though the enemy tries us financially, God promises to deliver us from every […]

Saving for Emergencies is Sowing for the Future

Establishing an emergency fund should be a top priority. Savings provide the seed for future stability and independence. As Galatians 6:7 reminds us, we reap what we sow. Sowing money into savings prepares for life’s uncertainties. Most advisors recommend having 3-6 months’ expenses saved before investing elsewhere. This provides a contingency cushion without relying on […]

Investing as an Avenue for God’s Blessing

Throughout Scripture, we see investing presented as an avenue through which God blesses His people. The Parable of the Talents illustrates God entrusting us with resources to cultivate and multiply. We are held accountable for wisely stewarding what He has given us. Faithful men and women of God were often blessed financially through investments. In […]

Investing for Eternal Rewards

While cultures promote gaining earthly wealth, Jesus urges us to store up imperishable treasure in heaven instead. Our ultimate “investment” should be in pursuing God’s Kingdom and righteousness. Some Christians wonder if investing is gambling. Gambling seeks extraordinary gain through extraordinary risk, yet most lose. Investing entails calculated risks aiming for reasonable returns aligned with […]

Building God’s Kingdom through Biblically Responsible Investing

In the journey of faith and stewardship, investing is more than a financial tactic; it’s a strategic way to fulfill our biblical calling.

This journey becomes even more meaningful when we embrace Biblically […]
