Is The Economy Freaking You Out?

By perry on Finances

I am unapologetic about the fact that I teach on money at NewSpring Church.

BECAUSE…one of the most "out of control" areas in our lives as Americans today is the way we handle our finances.

AND…because of carelessness, greed and ignoring the obvious warning signs…the economy has gone through some SERIOUS turmoil.

Here at NewSpring I tell people that when it comes to personal finances we really have two desires for everyone…

#1 - To Put God First In Your Finances.  

Jesus doesn't just want some of us…He wants all of us.  And one of the most direct things He ever said in regards to money is found in Matthew 6:21 where He covers the fact that if He doesn't have our treasure then He doesn't fully have our heart.

He doesn't want leftovers…He wants our love…and love is when we are NOT just about being a taker…but rather a giver.

We challenge people to tithe…and I have even said that tithing is not about NewSpring being after your money…and that if you actually believe that then just send your tithe to another church for the next three months.  SERIOUSLY!

I don't want ANYTHING from people…I want something FOR them (quote from Andy Stanley!!!)  I want FOR you to discover the incredible freedom and blessings from putting God FIRST in your finances.

Our second goal…

#2 - For You To Get Out Of Debt.  

Around 75% of Americans live from paycheck to paycheck.  MANY of us have credit card balances that are TRAPPING us in serious debt.

Proverbs 22:7 speaks VOLUMES about the borrower being a slave to the lender…and as followers of Christ we are NOT supposed to be enslaved by ANYONE.

When we don't have debt there is an INCREDIBLE amount of freedom in our lives.

AND…saying that, we want to help you get out of debt…to win with money so that you can do what God has called you to do rather than being enslaved in payments!

SO…this coming Wednesday at the Greenville campus and Thursday at the Anderson campus Joe Sangl will be teaching his Financial Learning Experience…AND WE WANT YOU TO BE THERE.  (YOU CAN GO HERE TO SIGN UP!)

It's free!!!  Why?  Because we want YOU to stop stressing over money.  To stop fighting over it.  To STOP letting it dominate your marriage.

We offer this every year…multiple times…and THIS NEEDS TO BE THE YEAR THAT YOU EMBRACE THIS!!!

SERIOUSLY…you don't have to freak out when it comes to finances!  SO…do whatever you need to do to get to NewSpring THIS WEEK…and learn how simple it is to be set free from the burden of debt!!!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
