I’ve completed the first of what I hope to be several
financial money management books; Whose Money Is It? In this book, what I tried to accomplish was
identify some of the reasons we have trouble with managing money. Instead of focusing on the obvious: the
economy, job loss, unexpected expenses etc, I turned my attention inward. To the individual, and the causes of our
misstep in finances. Isn’t it funny how
we have money to do the things we want to do, but when it comes to tithing or
paying bills, we’re broke. No money to
be found. I see men and women wearing
designer items, but are deep in debt, and have nothing left over for God. The thing is, God doesn’t want our left
overs. He wants our first, our hearts,
our minds, our focus. God wants all of
us, period. But, we have other ideas,
don’t we?
In my book, I explore the areas of our heart, our focus, our
idols, yes we do have idols. The car, or
house, or job, or positions. Biblically speaking,
anything that take our attention, or focus off God, can be considered an
idol. I also talk about greed, and
treasures. I hope to engage thoughts
about how we view our finances. Exactly
how do we really feel about our stuff?
