Rev. Dr. Joseph Boot: Aligning Your Financial Priorities with God’s Purposes


Listen Later

Where is your treasure? Where are your priorities? Are there any changes that need made to measure up to God’s priority?

In this episode, Jeff and Joe discuss: 

  • Learning from a young age to organize life around the Kingdom of God.
  • Helping Christians to think Christianly around work, wealth, and capital.
  • Introducing God’s rest and peace into existence through our work.
  • Using our wealth of restorative purposes for God’s purpose of reconciliation.
  • Understanding the basic principle of tithing then experiencing the joy of radical generosity beyond that.

  

Key Takeaways: 

  • The Earth and everything in it is the Lord's. We are stewards of His trust. We are administrators to advance His purposes by developing and cultivating the wealth that He has placed in creation through hard work and creativity.
  • Love God and love your neighbor as yourself - the two great commandments. Are your financial priorities honoring those principles? 
  • Two of the Ten Commandments are dedicated to the issue of property and how we honor God and others with it.That begins to provide a basis and a foundation for thinking about property.
  • You can only be disillusioned if you have illusions. If we make wealth an idol, it will be an empty promise and will never deliver.

  

"We use our money, our wealth, for restorative purposes, to advance God's purpose of reconciling all things to Jesus Christ. That's bringing all things into obedience and submission." —  Rev. Dr. Joseph Boot
