Skills with the Bills (My Message 11/15/09)

Principles to help develop skills with bills (dollar bills and/or bills that come in the mail that you you owe, but feel like shredding):


1. DETERMINE MY PRIORITIES.

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33


2. DECIDE TO GET OUT OF DEBT.

“The wicked borrow and do not repay.” Psalm 37:21

--The principle of COTENTMENT: “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have.” Hebrews 13:5


3. DISCIPLINE MYSELF IN SMALL FINANCIAL WAYS.

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with very much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” Luke 16:10

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9


4. DISCOVER THE JOY OF GENEROSITY.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35


5. DO IT STARTING TODAY.

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” James 1:22

“I will hasten and not delay to obey your commands.” Psalm 119:60
