Thanks for the great article! It was a subject not always covered in financial books. Even though I have recently been through serious tendon repair surgery and today the loss of my job because my family leave is over, I can say that I will continue to give to the best of my ability to further His kingdom and bless others. This is the least I can do given all that the Lord has blessed me with, including a emergency fund and supportive family and spouse. God bless you for your post. Keep up the good work.

“one of my goals with the blog is to help Christians get a handle on their finances, not so they can just spend more on themselves, but so ultimately they can be a benefit to the church and to others. ”

I’ve found in my own personal walk that by reducing what we spend, being more cognitive about our money and becoming more well off has also allowed us to be more generous in our giving. I think there’s a balance that needs to be found though – to make sure that the pursuit of wealth doesn’t become the sole goal since wealth can have a corrupting power.

If we become too materialistic we can start to see the blessings that God has given us as the end goal (not good) instead of wanting to live right and further his kingdom. We start becoming greedy, hoard, and will do anything to gain new wealth. That’s not where we should be.

Good discussion!

I believe wholeheartedly in 1 Timothy 6:17, “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.”

So we are NOT to put our hope or faith in anything but God, but what he gives us, we should not feel guilty about enjoying (assuming we are giving our first fruits to Him… and hopefully striving to consistently increase our giving).
