The Best Ways to Use Money (It‘s Not About the Money- Part 3)

There are so many ways to use money. There are the basic large expenses like the house, the car and the food.  Then there are those smaller nonessentials that add up like the $5 coffee, ATM fees, interest, the food that we let go bad, the thrift store treasures, the impulse by, or the mistake of taking the kids shopping.  There are so many ways to use money!

What are the best ways to use it?

 

The Gift of God

Jesus confused the woman at the well by asking her to give him a drink. Jesus added shock to the confusion by responding, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” (John 4:10)”

Oh, how different life can be when we know the gift of God!

Like a little child staring at the boxes under the Christmas tree, trying to imagine what might be inside, let you mind explore the limitless possibilities of the gifts God has for you. What is the gift of God? Read more...

I read the Bible. How do I live it?

God's Word has power to shape our lives in the best possible ways.  Don't just read, live it!

Prepare to be Amazed

How do you prepare to be amazed? Start with the expectation that God does amazing things. Then let him consecrate you so that you can experience those amazing things.  

But God

The worst of situations can be hopeful when they are followed with the words “But God”.

Go ahead, think of the worst of you sinful nature, the thing you are most ashamed of, that thing you’ve worried is never going to change, and hold that before God.  And then, hear the words, “But God”!

You Were Dead

If there is anything that makes us feel alive that is not Christ, it is not really life!

Ephesians 2:1 As for you, you were dead in your trespasses and sins...
