Mad Money Principles

There's two guiding principles when it comes to our "stuff" in this world that totally changes our perspective when we understand them.

1. All that we have- money, possessions, family, clothes, food, our next breath comes from God. The Bible is quite clear that the earth and all that is in it belongs to the Lord. (Psalm 24:1 and many other places).

2. God has given us caretaker responsibilities of all his stuff and he wants us to use it in ways that bring him honor through engaging in the power of positive giving. We will not take it with us as there has yet to be a U-Haul seen entering heaven. The gut wrenching question for everyone, especially in our culture of affluence, is what will we say when asked to give an account of how we took care of his stuff?
