This year, I have once again decided to read through the Bible on a one year plan. This works great for me as the readings are not extremely long; however, they are long enough to cover a topic or event and hold my interest. I’ll often rabbit trail off of one of the items or [...]

Why Did Jesus Challenge His Followers to Give it “All” Away?
In my recent book, The Secret of Generosity, I take a whole chapter to tackle the difficult question that faces every Christian that takes God’s word seriously: Should we give it all away? It’s a tough question, and one that merits consideration from anyone seriously considering the call of Christ. After all, Jesus plainly told [...]
Should Churches Build “Temples”?
In December, I released my third book, The Secret of Generosity. In a year’s worth of writing, editing, re-writing, and more editing, some parts get “left on the editor’s floor”. The following selection ultimately did not make the final cut. I was trying to make the point that I struggle with some churches justification to [...]

3 Financial Lessons from The Bible
According to Christian financial author, Howard Dayton, The Bible contains over 2,300 scriptures related to money. I think it’s amazing The Bible has that much to say about money. It seems money and the management of it has always been a challenge for people and there exists an unending need to provide wisdom about how [...]

Christian Stewardship: Managing the Remaining 90%
We often hear pastors and teachers teach about the 10% that we are to tithe. But what about the other 90% required for good Christian stewardship? Have we ever considered what we are to do with that and who really owns it? In Genesis 14:19b, we are told “God Most High, possessor of heaven and [...]
Is Your Financial Life Missing the Most Important Ingredient?
Among the flurry of information out there regarding how we should go about handling our money, it’s easy to get lost in the enormity of advice. As if this wasn’t hard enough, when we dig deeper into the issue of personal finance, we find more and more that people contradict one another. At some point [...]
The Biggest Lie of Leadership
“Leadership” has been a trendy genre for the last 20 years or so. Now, while I enjoy reading on the topic, I have to admit most of the material out there on leadership isn’t anything new. Principles of leadership (at least good principles of leadership) are pretty timeless. Therefore, this post is designed to show [...]

Show Them the Money | Teaching Teens About Money
What you are currently teaching your teens about money has everything to do with whether they will be in debt up to their eyeballs ten years from now. The teen years are the habit setting years – whether it’s snacking, studying or spending. These are the years when young buyers (and their parents) begin to [...]
The Bible’s Connection Between Debt and Slavery
I know, I know, it seems like this topic is a little “overdone”, but I think at times us crusaders of Christian finance often make a statement connecting debt to slavery without really explaining it. We sometimes assume our Christian brothers and sisters already understand what we are talking about. What I have found is: [...]
