Thankfulness

I have been posting my notes from chapel, church services, events, and seminars that are God-centered for a certain amount of time.
With the help of Google, people have stumbled upon my blog from life-experiences, to problems, and love.
My proposition is that if you are a visitor and the posts on my blog has helped you in some way or another please just give a simple "thanks" on the comments. Moreover, I've decided that "if" I ever earn money through the ads on this blog, it will go to those who need it most, or to an organization you recommend.
Above-all of this, its just notes I take throughout the week, but if it gives God the glory, then why not?

WEiRD, Week 5 A Weird View of Money

Guest Speaker : Dave Ramsey

We Christians view money is a weird way(bad way) we think that we can't be rich and all our money must go to charity or some missionary.

Anyways, to be wealthy is weird (not bad way)

5 Weird behaviours to get weird ways which takes time:

1. Written Game Plan
People don't and at the end of the month they wonder why they spend so much. Plan a day in the month to budget yourself and plan for the future by learning from past mistakes.

2. Act Your Wage
Live on less than you make. Even if it means to lower your standards of living.

3. Save Money
a. A storage fund/rainy day fund/emergency
b. Pay cash for things
You feel pain/hurts when you pay cash, this causes you to spend less.
c. Invest
Let your money work for you, don't just save but take a percentage of your income and invest it.
d. Debt is stupid
There is not one time in the Bible where it says debt is good. Debt has always been foolish, but it doesn't mean that God loves you less because your in it, even if your in or out of it His still crazy for you. Be free from payments, stress, painful, sleepless nights.
e. Give
God loves a cheerful giver. You can't help other people if your broke. Get control of your life. Tidings is a basic thing.

Weird is weird, to act weird is to be weird, wealth is weird, and to be wealthy is to act weird and thus be weird? :p
