MoneyWalk 92 Don't Argue Just Explain

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

My wife had an encounter with someone whose lifestyle didn't include saving because she believed two siblings that died missed out on expensive material things they could have purchased if it weren't for their saving habits. After hundreds of discussions with people with different lifestyles, we developed standards we use when discussing finances with other people.

·       We do not argue with anyone about money management. When given the chance, we explain that we use biblical principles to determine how we manage resources the LORD entrusts to us. For what does it profit a man to gain the world but lose his soul and he who loves the world and the things of the world is at enmity with God.

·       We study the bible and to ensure it is the foundation for our management and to support our commentary.

·       We explain that each person can choose to obey or disobey biblical instruction and thus reap the rewards of obedience or the consequences of disobedience. Also, biblical principles afford people boundaries in which they can employ different methods to extract the benefits thereof, which means everyone’s decisions do not need to be the same as ours. They simply should seek to please the LORD in the management of their finances. No matter what, we choose to obey His commands so our life is on a firm foundation throughout eternity and to partner in spreading His good news.

·       We first direct people to pray and seek the LORD and then direct them to resources that shed light on stewardship areas they’re interested in. For instance, we lead them to websites that provide articles written by reputable Christian financial experts and to resources that help them understand why and how to create a giving saving spending plan, eliminate debt, build savings and investments, buy insurance, create estate plans, etc.

We cannot make people believe the way we do because they have the power of choice in this life. They must hunger and thirst for righteousness in order for God’s wisdom and revelation to be accepted, understood, and employed. Some people will find reasons to dispute and ridicule biblical principles and methods that work therewith. It’s well known that many ridicule Jesus, so they'll also do it to His followers. He gives believers strength to endure it. When sharing bible truth, recognize you’re planting and/or watering seeds that will take root at some point in people’s lives when they soften their hearts toward Him and desire to be good stewards of the life, income, and resources entrusted to them.

Please pray for this ministry, email me with any questions, and contact me to speak at your business or ministry conference or workshop. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!

The book at the link below provides principles and practical steps that help you use the Power To Get Wealth. I was broke, busted, and disgusted in 1992 with $135,000 of debt and a negative $35,000 net worth. I’ve written and lectured on managing finances since 1993 when I began to learn appropriate ways to better our family financial situation. I have been debt-free since 1998 and became a multi-millionaire within 25 years while giving abundantly to fund the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ. The same power is available to help you!
