Chapter 15
Contentment and great gain
Godly giving.
Financial serenity carries with it contentment. Psalm 37:16-17 “Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many wicked.”
Believers are content. Psalm 84:10-12 “for a day in Thy courts is better than a thousand outside. I...
Chapter 16
Peace and Prosperity
No thought of tomorrow.
“Take no thought for the morrow. Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof,” was Jesus’ way of saying, “Don’t worry. Be happy.”
I pray that you will have peace and grace.
Are you worried?
Did you know that worry is sin? Why would...
Poverty vs. Riches
The Taxman Cometh.
Surely, you should have known that a tax accountant couldn’t write a book that didn’t have a chapter about taxes. I had to do it. I just had to.
Jesus said to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s. This...

Paul’s Shipwreck by Ludolf Backhuysen
Some could swim
And some seemed helpless
Furious waves
Their ship attacked
Gone the load
And gone the sunshine
One last meal
For strength they lacked.
But a prisoner
Still in shackles
Gave them hope
That all...

God’s Plan
His Holy will.
So what does God want? What is God’s plan?
He wants you to build your faith. He wants you to have your needs met. He wants you financially well. He wants you physically well.
His plan is to bring you to a point of financial serenity. Peace. Perfect peace...
Chapter 19
Your Heart’s Treasure
Letting Go and Letting God
One of the hardest things to do is to let go. Sometimes, we give things to God only to take them back again. We say, “Oh, I’m not going to worry about that problem anymore, I’m going to let God take care of it.” But then when he...
Chapter 20
Financial Serenity
Trust in God
If you take out a bill of United States currency, the back it will say, “In God We Trust ” on it. I like to believe that through trusting God I can have “Financial Serenity”. But, in my search for financial security, I found an even more...
Fragile Flower in India
I knew of the name of Amy Carmichael from having read a number of her inspirational poems. I did not know of her solid Ulster Christian upbringing. Her repeated attempts to enter missionary work compromised by fragile health. Her ultimate settling in the Tinnevelly...

“My Father.”
“Father, if it be thy will…”
“This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.”
“I do only that which the Father tells me.”
“If it be possible take this cup away from me.”
“The Comforter when he is...
Don's wife had asked him how the Men's Study Group had gone. She knew that they had just polished off the final chapter in some topical book. Job, she thought. He had come home week after week for ten weeks, saying very little.
Don was now being called upon to summarize, and he was finding it...
As a CPA, I am called upon to help others to be financially well.
My sincere prayer for you today is that you come to know that the LORD cares for you.
I pray His hand on you and your finances. I pray that he will bless and keep you all the days of your life.
I pray for healing for any...
Today I accepted the position of brickmaker on Christian Forums.
I became eligible for this position by virtue of having posted one hundred times.
I also noticed that I now have a chat box at the top of the main page of the forum.
When I approach a task, I like to do it as instructed in...
There is a city not made with hands whose streets are paved with gold.
Within Reason is a place that we voluntarily
remain in during our life of Faith.
On a postcard it would be as if "Within" would be the city and "Reason" would be the state.
As you approach the entrance to the city the...
Our pastor does his sermon in "series" that revolve around a common theme. The current theme is "My life in 2013-Living a Better Story."
At the outset he asks us to ask ourselves, "Are you living an unauthorized version of your life story?"
God's script is a story of victory.
Part of the...

Ecclesia: “An Assembly Summoned Out”
Out of what? The daily grind. The regimen of the working week. The common thoughts of everyday. The priorities and wanderings of the faithless. The push and pull of lusts. The debilitating fear of men. The...
In the panhandle of Idaho each year when the first snow falls usually around Christmas time, it is followed by a great shinook wind that comes and blows away all the snow leaving the ground dry and brown.
As the shinook blows you can see tumbling tumbleweeds blowing in the wind rolling down...
When my son was a teenager there would be times that he would call me to ask about doing something with his friends. I always asked the same two questions. Where are you? And, who are you with?
Now that he is grown with children of his own, I still care about his whereabouts and safety. I try...
Jesus,
No other name. Jesus.
Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
11 Seek the Lord and his...
And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and...
Seven years ago this month, I received my first permit to carry a concealed handgun. I walked into the county courthouse, made my way to the court clerk's office, gave them my name, and signed the small card they handed me.
One month before, I had taken a class covering basic gun safety and...
