Steve Moore and Rob West provide insight into Jesus’ words to the church in Laodicea. In the book of Revelation, Jesus rebukes the church for claiming to be rich, but in reality they are poor. Because of their earthly wealth, they thought they had no needs. But they were not relying on the Lord. It’s important for us to assess whether we’re relying on the Lord for our needs or for our stuff. We should seek spiritual wealth despite our financial circumstances. Next, they answer your questions at (800) 525-7000 and [email protected] about the following:

- My husband and I have 2 loans; one is $50,000 and the other is $100,000. We have an emergency fund and some savings. What is the best way to approach paying off these loans?

- I have a Fingerhut credit card. Does that help boost my credit rating?

- I put all of my school expenses on my credit card. I am not able to pay it off each month, and now my interest rate is going to increase. How can I make the best of this situation?

Today on Money Wise, Steve Moore and Rob West offer advice on what to do if you want to cut expenses during retirement. They discuss things such as disability and life insurance, family sized homes, and landline phones. Next, they answer your questions at(800) 525-7000and [email protected] about the following:

-I need to have reliable transportation for work. Should I lease or buy a car?

-My husband and I adopted older kids. They both pay for their cell phones and car insurance. I think the kids should pay the utilities, as part of maturity, but my husband fears something could go wrong if utilities are in their names. Advice?

-I am 60 years old and recently divorced. I have a house that I am trying to sell. I have 250K in retirement funds. Should I sell my home and try to downsize? I’m guessing I will get 175K out of it. Or should I just try and put more aside as it is?

One of the fun and exciting things about the Christmas season is the lights. It might be the lights on your house or in your neighborhood, the lights at the mall or in the town square. And most likely you have lights in your living room on your tree. It's very fitting that we use lights at the Christmas season to celebrate the coming of the one who referred to Himself as the light of the world.

Today, Rob West and Steve Moore share some illuminating thoughts about using the light of God's Word to provide help and direction for managing God's money. Next, they answer your questions at (800) 525-7000 and MoneyWise@ Compass1.org, including questions about the following:

- How do you know when you're on the right track for your financial future?

- If someone tells you that you've won a huge award, how do you know if it's legitimate?
