A Parent's Bill of Rights (Exodus 20:12)

Children have four deep needs that parents must nurture: wisdom, stature, favor with God, and favor with men. Parents must teach their children to respect authority, provide a recognition of values, and honor their parents. The home is a place where children learn to mature, relate to God, and develop selflessness. A godly home is under attack, and parents must take responsibility for teaching their children the importance of obedience, respect, and reverence for authority. [... more]

Boasting in God, Not Wealth

The subtle danger of using wealth to boast is explored through the story of King Hezekiah, who treated God's miraculous provision as a monument to his own success. This temptation is not new and can lead to spiritual toxicity. Modern-day stewards must ask whether their wealth is creeping into their identity and check what their possessions are pointing to. Faithful stewardship flips the script and says, 'Everything I have has been entrusted to me by God.' [... more]

The Master’s Men (Pt. 3) (Luke 6:15b-16)

Seeking Wise Counsel

Seeking wise counsel is a key part of faithful stewardship, and it's essential to recognize that God never intended for us to walk through life's biggest decisions alone. Biblical wisdom includes discernment, humility, and the willingness to receive insight from others, and it's crucial to remind ourselves that these voices keep us from drifting into the ditches of greed, fear, impulsiveness, or self-reliance. When making financial decisions, we can look for voices that justify our desires, reinforce our fears, or confirm what we've already decided, but wise counsel doesn't merely validate us, it helps us see what we cannot see on our own.

Staying Financially Faithful When Life Is Full

Busyness can be a spiritually dangerous distraction from financial faithfulness, leading to neglect of habits that build long-term stewardship. To stay financially faithful in a busy season, slow down, prioritize what matters most, simplify, remember that small acts of faithfulness matter, and keep the goal in view. Financial decisions should be guided by biblical wisdom, not just transactions, and every dollar earned, spent, saved, or given becomes an opportunity to express what we believe about God.
