Week 2 of Hide and Seek continues this week at both 9:30 and 11:00. Get a head start on the message by reading 1 Kings 18-19. Very cool story!
Do me a favor by coming to the 9:30 so we can free up seats at 11:00. I need your help with this! Thanks in advance!
People spend more time planning a week of vacation than planning for their financial future. I’ve been guilty in the past but not so much anymore. I want to manage the resources that God has given and make sure that my family is taken care of long after I am gone. Here are a few steps that are very important:
#1 – Put God First.
Your money is a HUGE indicator of where you are in your relationship with God. Matthew 6:21 makes it pretty clear and it’s not just a brilliant fund-raising strategy from the King of the Universe. God isn’t in the business of raising money as much as He is in the business of raising children. Learn to trust God with at least 10% of your income. It might hurt initially, but you never miss anything you give away.
#2 – Get Out Of Debt.
Stop spending money you don’t have! Proverbs 22:7 says that the borrower is slave to the lender. How true is that! The good news is that you don’t have to live that way forever!
#3 – Build for the future. Putting God first and getting out of debt is a great start. Once that has been accomplished – you are well on your way. Don’t stop here!
Planning for emergencies, major purchases, college, retirement, and extraordinary giving can be part of YOUR legacy!
I’ve asked a good friend of mine to show you how!!!
Go HERE or simply email our financial strategist, Clint Strange. I have asked him to help you develop a plan that WORKS! It’s confidential and of course it’s FREE! Not only that, but we are going to be starting a small group specifically designed to help you make substantial progress financially. Clint can give you all the details.
I want you to stop stressing over money. To stop fighting over it. To stop letting it dominate your marriage. For the love of God – don’t let your pride keep you from taking advantage of this opportunity! I can’t wait to hear YOUR story!
Last week I was given a new MacBook Pro. It definitely beats the 3 year old Toshiba that I bought after deciding to move to Acworth to start Freedom Church. That’s probably a huge understatement.
Since I got the computer I have added a few programs and played around a little bit trying to figure out how the thing works. The first program added to the new computer was a product from InternetSafety.Com called SafeEyes.
There are several accountability software programs on the market, but SafeEyes has them beat by a long shot. Don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself. Here is a link for a free 15 day trial. You can keep using the “Toshiba” version of Accountability Software if you would like, but I am going with the MacBook Pro.
You should too!
IBM has a document known as the “Staying Extreme” manual in which employees immerse themselves. Here is an interesting paragraph:
Remember, no matter who you work for, they work for you, too. You aren’t an order taker. You have a responsibility to develop insights and try to convince your peers, employees, and management to go that way. You won’t get your way every time, but keeping in the habit of driving the agenda is crucial. Don’t just wait for someone to tell you what to do. Understand their business and then tell them what you are going to do to help them win.
I am not a big fan of people who only care about their particular area. The combined effort of everyone can carry a team much further…faster.
