Jesus’ Teaching About Prosperity
We will start with Jesus’ own teachings, then look more closely at the teachings of the Apostles and draw some conclusions concerning prosperity in the Kingdom of God and in the world. We will not study this topic exhaustively, but will try to get at the essence. In Jesus’ time on earth, He never evaded […]
Five Facets of Money
1. Money is a power in the natural as well as in the spiritual. It can be a power over us if we allow it to be our idol, or it can be a great power for us to do His work or enjoy as He would have us to. It is basically neutral in […]
Money is a Spiritual Force
Did you know that money doesn’t really exist? In the natural, it is an idea more than a reality. In the spiritual, it is a force or power that is not contained by bills. Economists measure the amount of money supply in the US Economy by looking at what’s called M1, M2, & M3. These […]
Stagnating or Flowing?
In yesterday’s post, I compared the Sea of Galilee, which flows and empties, to stewarding through cash flow. Then I compared the Dead Sea, which has no outlet, and is thus so saline that it doesn’t support life, to the hoarding of wealth. This natural picture occurs similarly in the spiritual with our finances. Our […]
Your Duties as CE0
Serving Your Customers and Employees For your company, the equivalent of serving your customers and employees would be supporting the Body in its work and needs as well as reaching out to those whom God calls you to serve.

Kingdom Calling vs Financial Advisors: What Went Wrong?
The free fall of the markets in recent months, and subsequent wonder readily apparent in the comments of so many a financial advisor, should be a hard lesson to anybody looking soon to formulate a new financial plan. Almost nobody, including the best and brightest of two administrations, came even close to forecasting the length […]
Kingdom Calling vs Financial Advisors: Risk
Most financial advisors lead people to produce financial plans that are fraught with risk. When it comes to “Protection,” such as insurance, financial advisors typically choose to offer plans in which you end up paying the highest premiums for the lowest benefit – exactly as the insurance companies like it. Using these plans people usually […]
Kingdom Calling vs Financial Advisors: A Better Way
Almost all financial advisors recommend that you invest your money in the stock and bond market, usually through mutual funds, although it could be through wrap accounts, managed accounts, or in individual stocks and bonds. All of these options are subject to the schizophrenic, emotional roller coaster of the markets. As you know well, the […]
The Life of a Disciple (Mt 10:24-25)
“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. 25It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!” (Matthew 10:24-25) We’re […]
Is faith enough? (Mt 8)
Matthew 8 We finished the Sermon on the Mount yesterday here. My original thinking to do a bible study with a focus on Stewardship and Calling was not to go into minute detail, but instead to read a chapter a day and share my reflections on that chapter as it related to Stewardship and Calling.
