What’s an appropriate lifestyle for a Christian? What kind of car or vacation or how big of a house? And what about your giving and generosity? These are tough questions and ones that could get us into trouble. Rob West along with Steve Moore give you advice about how to stay out of trouble with an honest assessment from God’s Word, the Bible.
-More possessions demand more life resources and rob us with intimacy with Christ
-The Bible doesn’t provide specific lifestyle for a Christian but it does provide clear principles regarding lifestyle in 1 Timothy.
-There are plenty of biblical examples of followers who were also people of means so there should be no automatic expectation of a Christian to necessarily be poor.
Next, they answer your questions at (800) 525-7000 and [email protected] about the following:
-When his motorcycle is stolen, Christian calls to ask if he should use the insurance proceeds to make a down payment on a replacement motorcycle or use that money to get out of debt.
-David has a question about maintaining multiple 401(k) accounts.
-Marv wonders if he should consider buying an automobile with cash or borrow the money.
