Covenant with David
When the generation of Moses failed to obey God, they were left to die in the wilderness. God instructed Moses to establish Joshua and Caleb to succeed him to lead a new generation to possess the Promised Land, which they did. So the age of judges began. This age lasted over 400 years – from […]
For the Successful at Building Wealth, Isn’t a 401k (or any IRA) a Bad Idea?
A similar question to the one we asked yesterday is, “What if you are successful in building wealth, will the IRA tax deferral have been a wise choice?” We have a lot of clients who are in the 25 or 28% Marginal Tax Bracket. Your marginal bracket is the bracket that your last earned dollar […]
Covenant with Moses (The Israelites)
In Genesis 15, God told Abram that his descendants would suffer as aliens in a foreign land for 400 years.

Exod. 19:3-6 […]

Covenant with Abraham
Noah had three sons. When Ham uncovered his father’s nakedness, he invoked a curse upon his own son, Canaan. The priesthood was extended through Shem. And Abram was born of Shem. It is interesting to note that later, God led the Israelites out of Egypt to possess the Land He promised to Abraham, which was […]
Losing Your Velocity
“The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.” (Proverbs 14:18) Another important issue when it comes to being able to access the money that you are stewarding for the Lord is Velocity. We’ve spoken before about the importance of Velocity and I’m sure we will again. Here we’ll simply give a short […]
Covenant with Noah
Continuing from yesterday, the priesthood in the time of Noah became corrupted again too soon.

How 401k’s & IRA’s Limit Both Your Control and Accessibility
Having access to and control over your assets is essential to stewardship. God owns everything, but He’s given you certain assets to steward.
