Money

Broke: What's Broke? (Greg)

Money's Grip on You: Not many people couldn't find a way to spend their whole year's salary in one week if they had the option. Not many people would be much happier if did. Life isn't about the money, but somehow we keep living as if it were. So before you go broke, it's time to break the grip of money on your life. As we move on in to fall and all the decisions and commitments we make during it, and before the Christmas madness sets in, we're going to take time to look at how money can serve us instead of control us. It's God stuff, in a lot of ways.

Rally to Restore Sanity to Christmas: I won't go broke (Peter, 2010-12-12)

"This Christmas, I WON'T GO BROKE!"  Let's take a hard look at why our spending so easily soars out of control during the holidays.  And this includes more than the presents we wrap up for our friends and families, it's also about the parties, the decorations, the year-end donation appeals and on and on.  If God comes into this world to shine a light on the things that really matter, then how can we keep all these expenses and commitments from blocking out the light? Let's explore some ways to let that light shine when we need it most.
