In it you find that this unconventional church puts their money where their mouth is ? or more appropriately ? God?s mouth ;) . They challenge the congregation to tithe for three months and if at the end of the 3 months the participants are not convinced of God's faithfulness, they can get a full refund of every dollar they have given, no questions asked.
Being in debt and Tithing... I can't even count how many readers have emailed me asking me about whether or not they should tithe while getting out of debt. Tithing is a fiercely debated topic (read comments on the post I wrote called Tithing in the New Testament for proof) as you would expect with anything that seems to not make sense. I still wonder in amazement at how so many of God's principles are absolute foolishness to non-christians... I mean who in their right mind would give expecting to have more?
If you are like me and a little bit taken back by the high price of replacing the pages in your Franklin planner, I just found a great alternative. It does require a little bit of an upfront investment and some elbow grease, but it should pay for itself very quickly. ..What you need to create your own planner pages... Paper - probably a thin stock, to keep your planner from becoming too bulky...
Proverbs 1:32
??and the complacency of fools shall destroy them.? I was doing a little bit of studying on this verse and I looked up the definition of complacent. Webster?s definition surprised me ? the first definition was ?self-satisfied? and the third was ?unconcerned?.
A week or so ago, I did a review of Jim O?Donnell?s The Shortest Investment Book Ever. In the review I mentioned that I thought the book was perfect for those who haven?t started their 401k or 403b because they don?t know what funds to invest in. In the most simple terms Jim explains to the reader exactly which funds to invest in and why. If you don?t have a 401k, 403b, or Roth IRA started, you should. And if you feel clueless as to how to invest the money, this book is for you.
