January 4th - New Series Starts “Facing a Broken Economy” A series you can’t afford to miss!
When we get under pressure, our weaknesses get exposed and usually the consequences are very painful. Is the current economic downtown shining a spotlight on a weakness in your current financial strategy? What can we learn when our weaknesses get exposed? How can we quickly get back into balance? There are some things common to all of us when it comes to money. Surviving today, and living with the future in mind requires preparation and balance. Join Pastor Darryn Scheske each week this month as he shares the biblical principles of financial balance. You’ll be amazed at how clearly the Bible gives specific wisdom for times like these. It’s a series none of us can afford to miss.
The economy is the news of the day. The housing market is frozen, businesses are in trouble, the stock market is a roller coaster, and millions of people are watching as their nest eggs are impacted. So what should be our first response?
Don’t panic! A lot of bad financial decisions are made when people react without thinking. A broken economy forces us to come face to face with the need to get our finances in order, and to take seriously the biblical principles of managing money. The basic components of good financial management include:
Develop and live on a good working budget
Write down everything you spend
Don’t spend what you don’t have (i.e., credit cards)
If you have debt, develop and stick to a plan to pay it off
Get serious about saving regularly
Put God first in everything!
Of course, we know this is WHAT we need to do. HOW is another story! Take advantage of EVERY opportunity to learn how to implement these principles in your life, including upcoming events like Dave Ramsey’s “Financial Peace University”
