Giving Is an Adventure

article September 30, 2019

Sometimes I meet Christians who seem utterly bored with their lives. There is a great cure for boredom, although it’s one people don’t typically consider: giving more time, money, and energy to God’s Kingdom work, and inviting God to open our eyes to the needs surrounding us.

How Do We Balance What Scripture Says About Saving with the Biblical Commands to Give Generously?

article September 20, 2019

Saving can be wise, but it is never a substitute for giving. If ever we don’t feel we can save and give, by all means we should give. Some people in Scripture are rebuked for saving too much, but no one is ever rebuked for giving too much. 

God’s Sovereignty Means Our Giving Isn’t Random

article September 13, 2019

The popular expression “random acts of kindness” is catchy and good hearted, but as believers in a sovereign God, we should see how He orchestrates our lives, including the people we know and the needs he brings across our path.

Giving Is an Eternal Investment That Benefits Us Here and Now

article September 6, 2019

One of the biggest misconceptions about giving is that the money we part with to help the needy or to spread the gospel just disappears and is gone forever. While we hope others will benefit from it, we’re quite sure we won’t. We even buy into the devil’s lie that giving will rob us of the good life. We couldn’t be more wrong.

What Is the Good Life?

article September 4, 2019

Are you living the good life? If not, I know you wish you were. People define the good life in different ways, but everybody wants to live it. After all, what’s the alternative? Living a bad life? A pointless, guilt-ridden, or miserable life? We’d all choose the good life any day, and yet we often don’t understand how to make it happen.

Costi Hinn on How Liberty from Prosperity Theology Isn’t a License to Kill; It’s an Opportunity to Be Light

article August 14, 2019

I’m glad more pastors and teachers are speaking out against prosperity theology. One such voice is Costi Hinn, the nephew of faith healer Benny Hinn. Costi is right to point out that we should be careful to speak the truth boldly with grace, wisdom, and humility, and with the end goal of pointing people to the saving power of the true gospel.

article July 24, 2019

I just finished reading Costi Hinn’s new book God, Greed, and the (Prosperity) Gospel: How Truth Overwhelms a Life Built on Lies, over a period of three days, including two late nights. I couldn’t put it down!

Can You Recommend a Christian Financial Counselor Near Me, and What Should I Look for in an Advisor?

article July 22, 2019

Randy Alcorn recommends Ron Blue’s Kingdom Advisors, which assists Christian financial advisors in taking an active role in counseling their clients toward investing more in God’s Kingdom (www.kingdomadvisors.org). You can search for a financial advisor in your area on their site. Here is a portion from Randy’s book Money, Possessions, and Eternity about seeking wise counsel:

Would It Be Appropriate to Designate a Portion of My Estate to My Pastors?

article June 25, 2019

I am planning my will, and am wondering if it is appropriate to bequeath a portion of my estate to my faithful pastors? My children are not believers so I am leaving little to them (with an explanation), and the bulk of the estate will go to our church and its missions ministries.
