Joe Sangl's "10 Reasons I Promote Debt Freedom"

I cannot really tell you the feelings that Julie and I are having at this moment.  Joy and confidence are real.  Yesterday we met with Joe Sangl for the 2nd time.  Joe is a the pastor of financial counseling and planning at NewSpring in Anderson, South Carolina.  

These are not magic tips, but Joe promotes what the Bible says about our money and how we, as God's kids, can win with money and use it for the best God has for us.  In fact, Julie and I have had fewer fights and are now on the same page about how we spend our money and lead our family.

This is good.  Below is a blog post from Joe.  People, I am excited to tell you that I want to lead others to find the peace of God in every area of life.  Read on:

10 Reasons I Promote Debt Freedom

Here are ten reasons that I promote debt freedom …

  1. I can give more away
  2. Debt means that I have already spent some of tomorrow's income
  3. Lenders control the terms of debt which means that they have the potential to control me
  4. Cash-paid-for-in-advance vacations are AWESOME!
  5. I can invest more
  6. Less stress!
  7. My wife is happier when there is no financial stress
  8. Bill paying time is reduced by 90%
  9. Paying cash instead of using debt means that I have to wait to make a purchase.  The waiting process helps me process the decision much more thoroughly and has made me a much wiser consumer.
  10. I need to earn less to maintain the same lifestyle.

What others would you add?

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
