The Church Needs To Know

Were you taught Biblical Financial principles? 

Larry Burkett began teaching what the Bible says about money nearly 50 years ago. He was concerned about America’s runaway federal, state, and local government debt and that of the average American. Those trends have only gotten worse. Our national debt, according to the U.S. Treasury, is over $36 trillion. That’s more than $100 thousand per person. Our ability to change the course of federal overspending and borrowing is limited, but we can advocate for churches and Christian leaders to teach what the Bible says about money. Most Christians don’t know the basics. Financial teaching in the church is often confined to handling the tithe, or 10% of one’s income. Most believers don’t understand the reason for giving or the Lord’s perspective for handling the other 90%. That remaining money is perceived to be theirs to use as they please, but nothing could be further from the truth. Everything belongs to the Lord! We’re entrusted with managing resources in a way that pleases Him.

We can trust God and avoid worrying about the condition of the economy. He’ll be with us whether things are good or bad, but you can insulate yourself by minimizing or eliminating your personal debt as much as possible. The less you owe, the greater margin you’ll have. We must raise up faithful stewards who can work, give, save, spend, and invest in ways that grow God’s Kingdom.
