The wealth of the rich is their fortified city they imagine it a wall too high to scale Proverbs NIV Money can provide real protection but it can also create a dangerous illusion of security We may begin to believe that enough savings investments or possessions can shield us from whatever life brings In Samuel we encounter a wealthy man named Nabal whose story illustrates the danger of placing too much confidence in earthly riches His experience reminds us that while financial resources are valuable tools they can never provide the ultimate security our hearts desire Nabal A Wealthy Man [... more]

Settling for Sand (Luke 6:46-49)

Share a commentTwo houses can look identical until the river rises That's the unsettling logic Jesus uses at the end of Luke and it's where we land in this message from Stephen Davey on Wisdom for the Heart We hear Jesus ask a question that cuts past religious talk and straight into motive and practice why call Him Lord while refusing what He says We walk through the contrast between the wise builder who digs deep and lays a foundation on bedrock and the shortcut builder who skips the foundation entirely The difference isn't the neighborhood the materials or even [... more]

Choosing Contentment

If there's one word that defines our culture it's more More upgrades More comfort More square footage More of whatever promises to make life a little better Yet despite having more than previous generations could have imagined many of us feel less satisfied than ever Why Because contentment doesn't come from acquiring what's next It's cultivated in the heart right where we are And Scripture reminds us that contentment isn't something we stumble upon It's something we can learn Why More Is Never EnoughWe're all tempted to believe that the next purchase promotion milestone or change in circumstances will finally [... more]

Defined by Christ, Not Wealth

Money can tell you how much you have but it makes a terrible answer to the question Who am I Wealth is a gift to steward but it was never meant to become our identity Yet in a culture that often measures success by income possessions and financial security it's easy to begin defining ourselves by what we have or what we lack Scripture offers a different perspective In fact some of Jesus' most memorable teachings about wealth reveal what happens when possessions become central to a person's identity When Wealth Becomes Your IdentityHave you ever noticed how Scripture describes [... more]

3 Questions To Ask Before Dipping Into Your Emergency Fund

Having an emergency fund is an important part of wise financial stewardship But building one is only half the battle You also need to know when to use it It can be tempting to dip into emergency savings whenever an unexpected expense or even an especially appealing purchase comes along But if we use those funds too freely the money may not be there when a genuine emergency arrives Proverbs offers a helpful reminder Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling but a foolish man devours it The principle is simple wisdom prepares rather than consuming everything [... more]

Preparing the Next Steward

Jonathan Edwards once said True legacy consists not of what we leave behind but of what we instill in others That's an important reminder especially when we think about money and inheritance All of us have a natural desire to provide for the people we love Whether it's our children grandchildren or others God has entrusted to our care we want to leave them in a better position than we were That's a good desire Proverbs says A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children But Scripture encourages us to think about inheritance as more than simply transferring [... more]
