Money

Yesterday, I saw an article that reminded me of the poor job most churches do in communicating matters about money. Jesus talked more about money than He did heaven and hell combined. 15% of the quotes from Jesus captured in the Gospels are about money. So why shouldn't churches talk about money as much as Jesus did?

To be honest, I was convicted by this (again!) and have committed to doing a better job of talking about money and finances from the pulpit. No, I won't be preaching fire and brimstone sermons about tithing. While I will address tithing from a Scriptural perspective, I'll talk more about how the Bible tells us to handle our finances on a day to day basis.

Let's face it, practically all of us need this kind of guidance, especially in the economy in which we find ourselves.
