We were designed to represent God to other people. One way we can do that is through our communication – the way we talk and listen.

God’s Word encourages us to have a plan for saving our money and to use personal and spiritual self-discipline in our money management.

Spending money God’s way is a learned behavior. Trust God with your future and be open to his direction for selfless spending.

Giving to God shows that we honor him and that we trust his plan for us.

God wants us to work honestly and diligently, promising to bless us with the prosperity that he knows to be best for us.

We are free. We are free to respect and appreciate the authority of our government, and that is God’s will for us.

Yes, we are free in Christ, but we are also free to give up some of that freedom in order to help other people from stumbling.

God gives us freedom through Jesus. But the best use of that freedom is not to flaunt it, but to choose to put it aside and meet people where they’re at in order to better share the ultimate freedom with them.

Since we are set free from the control of Satan and sin is no longer our master, we

have the freedom and power to live our lives the way God desires. He expects us to do this, as a witness to him, until we go to heaven.

Everyone is different. Everyone’s gifts come from the same Spirit. Everyone has value when invested in the common good.
