Is Financial Independence Biblical?

Managing your money can draw you closer to God, and seeing God as your ultimate treasure is key to true financial freedom. However, financial independence can be a subtle danger, leading us to believe we don't need God. The Bible warns against trusting in wealth and careful planning, but rather in dependence on God. A life rich in faith can lead to lasting joy and fulfillment, and aligning our financial goals with biblical principles is crucial. We must ask ourselves if we're placing our faith and trust in money, trying to eliminate work from our lives, or paying off debt just to live for ourselves. If our priorities revolve around us instead of advancing God's kingdom, we've fallen short of His design. [... more]

The Second Generation Syndrome "“ 2 of 2

The second generation syndrome is a pattern of disobedience and idolatry that has been repeated throughout history, as seen in the book of Judges. This cycle of sin and slavery can only be broken through desperation and deliverance, which comes from God's intervention. The consequences of disobedience are severe, leading to defeat and enslavement to sin. However, God uses these consequences to get our attention and bring us to a place of desperation, where we can cry out to him for help. Ultimately, the issue is always which God we will serve: the God of our desires or the Lord God at great personal cost. [... more]
