Finances

Too many of us have fallen prey to marketing hype. But at some point you have to realize more is not always better.

A well-planned trip is a gift, not a burden. These tips show how careful budgeting can give you more joy, less stress, and room for what matters most.

Wouldn’t it be nice if having a relationship with God meant never having to worry or stress about money again? 

Actually, that’s possible. But not because God fills our bank account with money when we surrender our lives to Him. Like with every aspect of our lives, God wants a relationship with us in which we are dependent on Him, and trusting Him with all that we have. He wants us to keep Him as our God, not what we have or what we’d like to have

Scripture reminds us that money choices are never neutral. The pursuit of quick riches clashes with biblical wisdom, calling us instead to work hard, give generously, and invest in God’s eternal kingdom.

Debt or financial problems can be a struggle, but they cal also inspire trust, faith, peace, and discernment. The Bible tells us that God is not just interested in how to solve our financial problems, but also in doing something more mysterious.

Sure, your expenses will change when the kids move out. You'll be spending less on groceries, household items, and utilities. However, now is not the time to go crazy with your spending like you've won the lottery. Your bills aren't going away; they are just going to be lower.

God didn’t just give a little for us; He gave His best. He gave Himself. John says that it is no different for us: True love requires sacrifice.

I find that I’m less tempted to stop for an extra Starbucks I didn’t account for if I know that money would be coming out of what I could give at the end of the month. And giving feels better than a latte ever could.

Never disregard popcorn and a board game, a big quilt to snuggle under, and a book to read together, going for a run, or even checking out a local zipline course. Being creative is half the solution to saving money. Not every inexpensive date needs to be a movie on the couch. There is so much to be explored and experienced, and these types of dates encourage communication and interaction.

God gives generously to you, and he calls you to give to others in need as his love flows through your life. Here are 28 Bible verses about giving to others, plus 10 creative ways to give.

When we financially struggle, it's easy for money to consume our hearts, allowing fear and frustration to grow. When financially comfortable, it's easy to lean on money as the (false) sense of our joy.

By living generously, freely giving from our finances to help others and spread the gospel, we will reap eternal rewards. The Bible teaches that we are stewards of our finances. Let us invest our money wisely for the glory of the Lord.

While the Bible doesn’t specifically contain the word “gambling,” a number of passages urge good financial stewardship and warn against being foolish with money or wasteful/get-rich-quick scenarios.

It’s hard enough to create financial stability when we’re on the same page, but what happens when our philosophies concerning finances are completely different?

Prices are still climbing, paychecks aren’t keeping up, and many Americans feel a recession is already here. What does the Bible say about provision in times like these?
