  • Firstfruits

    Firstfruits

    Giving the firstfruits of our income to the Lord in the right spirit is an act of faith. “Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him” (Hebrews 11: 6). The Lord requires faith…

  • Judging God with criticism

    Judging God with criticism

    When we criticize another Christian, we are actually saying that God’s workmanship does not meet our standards and that we could do it better.

The biblical definition for financial indepen-dence is being in the place where you never have to make a decision based on financial considerations, but simply on the revealed will of God. This is the…

  • Debt and obedience

    Debt and obedience

    Debt is probably the main reason why Christians today are not free to respond to the call of God in their lives. When there is a call to do anything, from entering the full-time ministry to going on a mission trip, if our main consideration is whether we can afford it, it is an indication…

  • Selfishness

    Selfishness
