^10:39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

Research tell us that resilient people live longer, live healthier, and have healthier relationships. Resilience is our capacity to adjust to changes and challenges in our life, as well as the ability to “spring back” after dealing with a difficult and stressful time.

domestic abuse

We’re going to be talking about domestic abuse this morning, and my apology is that I’m a male and males are the primary perpetrators when it comes to domestic abuse. Secondly, I’m a pastor.

4 Financial Freedom – Diversify

There are many demands on our resources, all of them requiring our attention. Yet throughout the Scriptures God talks consistently about what it means to be generous toward God and others with our resources. God calls us to diversify.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that it is a sin to borrow, but it does speak into this important aspect of our financial management – how well we do this determines the extent of our financial freedom (Larry Burkett – Crown Ministries). It doesn’t matter whether you earn a little or a lot, anyone can be plagued by financial bondage brought about by debt.
