When our "wallets" are filled with our own desires and dreams, we’re missing the train. · We rob God by holding back our time, talent, and treasure, ...read more

    Unlike the world, which assumes that we must make a profit and we get what we pay for, God’s bookkeeping says that giving is receiving, and you get more than you pay for. You get grace paid for by the blood of Jesus.

    In the last several months I have learned more about bookkeeping than I ever wanted to know. Because the church is converting from bookkeeping by hand to an accounting software, and because our financial leadership does not yet have access to all of that, I began to record transactions on the ...read more

    A brief devotional type sermon from Malachi 3

I particularly like the King James wording “stout” because it conveys that the words were not only harsh, but also strong words. The Amplified ...read more
