- Nine of the World's richest men
Nine success stories or nine failures - you decide.
Co-signing
and Surety
Dad and Mom, would you co-sign for me? I promise to pay. The
Bible has something to say about co-signing - you may not
want to hear it.
Glass
Cathedrals in an age of hunger
Proverbs tells us to set a goal but hold it lightly, just
in case God wants you to give you a curve ball. Building programs
are not excluded from this process.
Is
money good or bad?
We are taught that poverty is more Godly than having wealth.
I beg to differ with. Money is a stewardship issue; a test,
a tool and a testimony.
It
is Better to Give AND Receive
For most Canadians, giving to our favourite charity can provide
a larger tax refund than RRSP contributions. Find out how
charitable giving can help both your favourite charity and
your tax return.
Learning
to Fly Financially
Young people - learning to fly financially can be stressful.
It will take time and Godly wisdom to stay airborne.
Parable
of the Fishless Fishermen
Can you be called a fisherman if you never go fishing?
Passing
on your estate
Do you want to see your local church vibrant, winning many
souls to Christ and making a difference in your community
50 years from now? What about great organizations like Wycliffe,
Gideon’s, Focus on the Family, Billy Graham Society, etc?
Here is how one man was able to do just that.
Possessions
or People?
Jesus said that we should store up treasures in heaven, not
on earth. This raises the question, "What am I supposed
to do with my possessions and how hard should I work on getting
more?" Richard Swenson has put together a great list
of fifteen things we can do and think to keep possessions
in perspective.
Taming
the debt monster
If you are having problems with debt, specifically, consumer
debt, then here is a 20 point checklist to help you stay out
of the trap. Even, if you don't have any problems right now,
this checklist will make you aware of problems that might
come up.
The
Art of Contentment
What does an environment of greed, anxiousness, and a fear
of the future add up to in an age of materialism. DISCONTENTMENT.
Is Paul's statement" I have learned to be content"
a mandatory requirement for victorious Christian living?
When
Does an RRSP Loan Make Sense?
Borrowing money to maximize your RRSP contribution is a financial
strategy that many advisors will recommend. However, it is
not a good idea for everyone. Before going ahead with it,
make sure that you first look at a variety of factors.
When
is enough, enough?
All advertising tells us that what we have is not good enough.
It becomes the breeding ground of discontent which gives away
to fear and anxiety. Pakhom received the true end to discontent.
When
NOT To Contribute To An RRSP
Most of the time, maximizing your RRSP contribution is a good
financial strategy. However, there are definite situations
when it isn’t in your best interest financially to do so.
