If you have been checking out this site for some time you know by now that I base my financial principles around what scripture (Bible) says. There is a reason for this: it is smart.
I actually like to call the bible our map. If we are lost financially we might have to evaluate if we are following the wrong map. How do I know if I am lost financially?
- If you get to the end of the month and you do not know where your money went
- If you are not giving sacrificially
- If you think that if you were able to get just a little bit more money then you’d be happy
- If you are worried about your finances
- If you find yourself into debt (other than the house)
Like I have said before, most of Americans are in a stressful situation (The Wall-Street Journal published that 70% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck). This means if they missed one paycheck they would not be able to make ends meet.
A definition of instanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. If we follow the map of culture, why do we think it will end up with different results? Are we following the wrong map?
