  1. Peace Of MindAre We Eating Our Seed? A Christian’s view of the Financial Future

  2. We Need Balance • “Prepare to meet your God…” (Amos 4:12) • “Therefore, Watch…” (Matt. 24:42ff). • We could die at any time. Our job is to be ready. • No earthly concerns should grab out attention. • “Where your treasure is, there will be your heart also” (Matt. 6:17ff). • Don’t lay up treasure. Money is evil, and distracting.

  3. Real Balance • We may not die tomorrow! What then? • I Tim. 5:8 – A “widow indeed”. But most of us have resources to “let not the church be burdened”. • “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children” (Prov. 13:22). • Is God’s wisdom a “sin” or bad judgment? • Or have we emphasized one idea over the other?

  4. Provision for the Future • Life Insurance • Health insurance – will I bankrupt my family to live another week? • Home owner’s policy – the rich basketball player, multi-million $house w/o ins. It burned! • Car policies • Funeral expenses – how extravagant do we go? • Does this show good judgment? Are we providing for our family?

  5. Owning Your Own House (Not Home) • “Must be awful to live in a place like that.” • Financing. Do you understand interest? • “I can lower your payments! And save you money!” • Calculate how much house you need. Be content. • Use it to God’s glory.

  6. Our Children • At home are expensive. • You ain’t seen nothing yet! College!! • When do you begin saving for this. • Before they’re born. (Yes, it will take that long). • We don’t have to get in a panic if we plan.

  7. Your Giving • Begin early – when you have an income. • Tithing?? • A realization – Psalm 24:1; 50:10. • Bible talks more about money than about love or grace. • 2 Cor. 9:7; Mal. 3:10-12; I Cor. 4:2 “You can’t out give God.” • What is a “steward?” • What could the church accomplish if God’s people gave from the heart? • Spend some. Save some. Give some away.
